Recommendation 30

In promoting a transformative Post-2020 Biodiversity Framework, we recommend that the UK Government advocate: • A strengthening of the Post-2020 Biodiversity Framework’s 2030 mission to align with the Leaders’ Pledge for Nature and G7 2030 Nature Compact to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030. • A more ambitious, SMARTer species goal (Goal A) which commits to stopping human-induced extinctions. • Inclusion of reference to nature-based solutions in Target 8, so that the UNFCCC and UNCBD processes can be better linked. • Stronger wording on the need to reduce unsustainable consumption and production patterns amongst developed countries. • An ambitious Paris-style review mechanism for biodiversity, which encourages Parties to ‘ratchet’ the level of ambition of their National Targets at regular review intervals. • A dedicated financial mechanism for the UNCBD.
