December 7 – 19, 2022 in Montreal, Canada, governments from around the world will come together to agree on a new set of goals to guide global actions through 2040 to protect and restore nature.
The draft Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework has 21 action targets for 2030, including:
- Conservation of at least 30 percent of land and sea areas globally.
- Restoration of at least 20 percent of degraded freshwater, marine and terrestrial ecosystems.
- 50 percent greater reduction in the rate of introduction of invasive alien species.
- Reduce nutrients lost to the environment by at least half, and pesticides by at least two thirds, and eliminating discharge of plastic waste.
- Nature-based contributions to global climate change mitigation efforts of at least 10 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per year.
