• Protects land for agriculture, forestry, and indigenous use.
• Sustainable land use improves crop yields and food security.
• Directly addresses hunger and malnutrition.

🔗 5. Sustainable Cities (SDG 11) → Infrastructure (SDG 9) → Innovation & Industry (SDG 9) → Economic Growth (SDG 8)

• Food and trade industries based on marine resources contribute to economic development.

🔗 10. Life on Land (SDG 15) → Climate Action (SDG 13) → Clean Water (SDG 6) → No Poverty (SDG 1)

• Protecting forests and ecosystems helps regulate the climate.
• Stable ecosystems also preserve watersheds and water access.
• Access to natural resources and climate stability are critical for lifting communities out of poverty.

Tips for Explaining Dependencies:

• Use “if this, then that” language:
• If communities have access to clean water, then children can go to school, then girls can stay in school longer, then gender equity improves…
• Visuals help: consider flow charts, circular diagrams, or even network graphs with SDGs as nodes.
• Link each dependency to real-world projects or case studies from your database for credibility and clarity.
