摘　　要：Understanding the interactions(synergies and trade-offs)among the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs)is crucial for enhancing policy coherence between different sectors.However,spatial differences in the SDG interactions and their temporal variations at the sub-national scale are still critical gaps that need to be urgently filled.Here,we assess the spatial and temporal variation of the SDG interactions in China based on the systematic classification framework of SDGs.The framework groups the seventeen SDGs into three categories,namely“Essential Needs”“Objectives”,and“Governance”.Spatially,we found that the SDGs in“Essential Needs”&“Objectives”and“Essential Needs”&“Governance”generally show trade-offs in the eastern provinces of China.Synergies among all three SDG categories are observed in some central and western China provinces,which implies that these regions conform to sustainable development patterns.In addition,temporally,the synergies of the three SDG categories have shown a weakening trend in the last decade,mainly due to the regional differences in the progress of SDG7(Affordable and Clean Energy).Overall,our results identify the necessity for provinces to enhance the synergies between SDG12(Responsible Production and Consumption)and other SDGs to tackle the trade-offs between the“Essential Needs”and“Objectives”.Meanwhile,promoting the progress of SDG7 will also contribute to balanced development across provinces.理解可持续发展目标(SDGs)之间的相互作用(协同和权衡)对加强不同部门之间的政策一致性至关重要.基于SDGs系统分类框架(“基本要素”、“治理”和“目标”),本研究从省级尺度上量化了中国SDGs相互作用的时空变化特征.结果显示,在空间上“基本要素”和“目标”以及“基本要素”和“治理”之间在中国东部省份普遍表现出权衡关系,三类SDGs之间的协同关系主要出现在中西部省份.在时间上,各类SDGs之间的协同关系在过去十年表现出下降趋势.未来优先推进SDG12和SDG7的落实将有助于促进SDGs的协同落实和各省份的均衡发展.
