Taking these factors into account is going to be critical in devising strategies to progress on these targets and on SDG 14 more generally. The conference is mandated to involve all relevant stakeholders to assess challenges and opportunities relating to, as well as actions taken towards, the implementation of Goal 14. See United Nations General Assembly resolution A/70/L.64. This is done using a large number of UN reports and scientific publications. We synthesize the results of this research in tables showing interrelationships of each of the ten SDG 14 targets with other SDGs. We think that the value added of the tables resides in their representation of ocean-related issues in relation to other SDG areas, which provides a bridge for communities working on various sustainable development fields to engage.
