Exploitation of natural resources,\nhabitat destruction in the sake of economic development, illegal species trading\nare only a few of the activities that have resulted in a new era of mass\nextinction, the Anthropocene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the responses to this catastrophe was to set global environmental\ngoals and specific targets that countries need to reach within a certain\ntimeframe. The ultimate goal is that, during the attempt to reach these targets,\nsociety will be transformed and humanity will live in harmony with nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020, is an\nenvironmental framework consisting of five goals and 20 targets. By the end of\n2020, although efforts around the world increased immensely, biodiversity loss is\ncontinuing to rise. This indicates that more drastic responses are required. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In early July 2021, the first draft of the post-2020 global\nbiodiversity framework was released. The final version will be decided in\nOctober 2021, during COP-15 at Kumming, China. This framework builds from the Strategic\nPlan for Biodiversity 2011-2020, and sets out ambitious targets that should be\nfulfilled by 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the key targets are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Ensure at least 30% of land and sea areas globally (especially areas of particular importance for biodiversity and its contributions to people) are conserved through effective, equitably managed, ecologically representative and well-connected systems of protected areas (and other effective area-based conservation measures).<\/li><li>Prevent or reduce the rate of introduction and establishment of invasive alien species by 50%, and control or eradicate such species to eliminate or reduce their impacts.<\/li><li>Reduce nutrients lost to the environment by at least half, pesticides by at least two thirds, and eliminate discharge of plastic waste.<\/li><li>Use ecosystem-based approaches to contribute to mitigation and adaptation to climate change, contributing at least 10 GtCO2e per year to mitigation; and ensure that all mitigation and adaptation efforts avoid negative impacts on biodiversity.<\/li><li>Redirect, repurpose, reform or eliminate incentives harmful for biodiversity in a just and equitable way, reducing them by at least $500 billion per year.<\/li><li>Increase financial resources from all sources by at least $ 200 billion per year, and increase international financial flows to developing countries by at least $10 billion per year to developing countries.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This document is of great importance to the future of\nbiodiversity. Hopefully, previous experience on preparing and implementing the Strategic\nPlan for Biodiversity 2011-2020, will be key to avoid repeating mistakes, but will\nalso help fulfill the framework\u2019s goals and eventually transform society to\nlive in harmony with nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> You can find the first draft of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbd.int\/doc\/c\/abb5\/591f\/2e46096d3f0330b08ce87a45\/wg2020-03-03-en.pdf\">here<\/a>, and information on the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbd.int\/doc\/strategic-plan\/2011-2020\/Aichi-Targets-EN.pdf\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>References<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><em> <\/em>Maxwell SL, Fuller RA, Brooks TM, Watson JEM (2016) Biodiversity: the ravages of guns, nets and bulldozers.
