In 2022, the world’s nations committed to effectively conserve at least 30% of the Earth’s land and ocean by 2030 under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). This 30x30 global target is the most ambitious conservation commitment ever made and a critical step toward addressing the dual challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss. In short, we are failing to meet the 30x30 target. Countries must conserve more of their national waters and work together to increase the protection of the vast area of international waters beyond their borders (high seas). Moreover, the conservation of the ocean must be more ‘effective’, meaning with higher quality standards and regulation, to achieve the intended biodiversity outcomes outlined in the GBF. Importantly, the work must not stop when the 30x30 target is met. Once reached, we will be in a stronger position to work toward the GBF’s broader ambition of humanity living in harmony with nature by 2050. This report provides insights into the current status of global ocean conservation (see Annex 1 for information about data and methodologies) and five key recommendations for governments to improve and speed up action for ocean conservation. The recommendations are designed to inform discussion at the COP16 UN Biodiversity Conference in October 2024.
