Political Monitoring - January 2023
- The after COP15-
What are the outcomes of COP15?
After two weeks of negotiation and years of preparatory work, 196 nations adopted a package, the Kunming – Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. The package includes a list of goals and targets that address direct drivers of biodiversity loss and decisions on the review of implementation, resource mobilization, digital sequence information, and capacity building and technology transfer. This historic deal aims to be a roadmap to protect and restore nature for current and future generations.
Some key components of the global biodiversity framework:
- Restore 30% of degraded ecosystems globally on land and sea by 2030.
- Conserve and manage 30% of areas (terrestrial, inland water, and coastal and marine) by 2030.
- Stop the extinction of known species, and by 2050 reduce tenfold the extinction risk and rate of all species.
- Reduce risk from pesticides by at least 50% by 2030.
- Reduce pollution risks and negative impacts of pollution from all sources by 2030 to levels that are not harmful to biodiversity and ecosystem functions.
- Reduce global footprint of consumption by 2030, including through significantly reducing overconsumption and waste generation and halving food waste
- Sustainably manage areas under agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries, and forestry and substantially increase agroecology and other biodiversity-friendly practices.
- Tackle climate change through nature-based solutions.
- Reduce the rate of introduction and establishment of invasive alien species by at least 50% by 2030.
- Secure the safe, legal and sustainable use and trade of wild species by 2030
