This paper, drawing on work done by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), provides an answer to that question.

This paper shows that each of the SDGs relate to an aspect of the LSF, while three of the LSF’s domains of wellbeing do not map well to an SDG (though even here, the flexible nature of the SDGs mean it would not be hard to adapt SDG reporting processes to include these areas).
