Revealed: More than half of nations fail to protect 30% of land and sea in UN nature plans

Quick Summary:

More than half of countries have not committed to protecting 30 per cent of their land and sea for nature by 2030 in plans submitted to the UN – despite signing a global agreement to do so less than three years ago.

This includes: countries that specify that they will protect 30 per cent of “areas of particular importance”; countries that gave a target for improvement, but did not provide a baseline; and countries that submitted only one or two targets.

The analysis finds that, of 137 countries that have submitted plans to the CBD, more than half – 70 countries, or 51 per cent – do not commit to protecting 30 per cent of their land and sea by 2030.
