Signal Global Biodiversity Framework targets restoring 30% of degraded areas by 2030

Summary

The report cites the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework as a mitigation for biodiversity loss. The framework sets a goal of restoring 30% of degraded land and ocean by 2030. The UK supports that goal through its 100 million pound Biodiverse Landscapes and Blue Planet funds. At home, the Environment Act 2021 and the 2023 Environmental Improvement Plan established legal targets to stop the decline of nature, backed by major investment in habitat restoration and marine protection. A revised Environmental Improvement Plan is due in 2025. The Third National Adaptation Programme also sets out government action to reduce biodiversity loss as the climate changes.
