Abstract: Human activities affect the Earth System with an unprecedented magnitude, causing undesirable irreversible degradation. The United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide an integrated global action plan for sustainable development. However, it remains a great challenge to develop actionable strategies to achieve regional sustainability within social-environmental constraints. Here we proposed a framework, integrating safe and just operating space (SJOS) with SDGs, to assess regional sustainability and interactions between environmental performance and human well-being across scales. Despite China has not fully achieved sustainable development from 2000 to 2018, most provinces have shown significant improvements. Our analyses further delineated four development patterns (i.e., coupled and developed, coupled and underdeveloped, uncoupled and underdeveloped, and coupled and underdeveloped), and developed targeted strategies and pathways for each pattern to transition towards sustainability. Our operationalizable framework is broadly applicable to other regions or nations to actualize sustainable development.

摘要：人类活动对地球系统的影响是前所未有的，造成了不可逆转的退化。联合国SDGs为可持续发展提供了综合的全球行动计划。然而，在社会环境约束下，制定切实可行的区域可持续性战略仍然是一个巨大的挑战。因而，本研究将SJOS与SDGs框架相结合，以评估区域可持续性以及环境绩效和人类福祉之间的相互作用。研究表明，2000年至2018年期间，尽管中国尚未完全实现可持续发展，但多数省份都表现出显著的改善。基于此，本研究进一步划分出四种发展模式，即，耦合和发达、耦合和欠发达、非耦合和欠发达、耦合和不发达，并为每种模式向可持续发展过渡制定了针对性的战略途径。本研究框架可广泛应用于其他国家或地区，以期实现可持续发展。
