Target 7 - By 2030, pollution risk and the negative impact of pollution from all sources, is reduced to levels that are not harmful to biodiversity and ecosystem functions and services, considering cumulative effects such as reducing excess nutrients lost to the environment, reducing the overall risk from pesticides and highly hazardous chemicals, preventing, reducing, and working towards eliminating plastic pollution by at least half, taking into accounting food security and livelihoods.

Target 8 -By 2030, significantly minimize the impact of anthropogenic pressures and climate change on biodiversity by increasing resilience through mitigation, adaptation and disaster risk preparedness strategies including nature-based solutions and/or ecosystem-based approaches and ensure that all mitigation and adaptation efforts avoid negative impacts on biodiversity.

Target 9 -By 2030, all terrestrial and inland water species are sustainably used and effectively managed to provide social, economic and environmental benefits for all people especially those most dependent on biodiversity and in vulnerable situations, while encouraging customary sustainable use by local communities.

Target 10 -By 2030, ensure that all areas under agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries, game management, forestry, and other productive uses are managed sustainably, in particular through the sustainable use of biodiversity; contributing to the long term productivity and resilience of these production systems, conserving and restoring biodiversity and maintaining nature’s contribution to people, including ecosystem goods and services.

Target 11- By 2030, restore, maintain and enhance nature’s contributions to people, through nature-based solutions and/or ecosystem- based approaches for the benefit of all people and nature.

Target 12 - By 2030, significantly increase the area, quality, connectivity of and access to green and blue spaces within cities and densely populated areas by ensuring biodiversity inclusive regional and urban planning and mainstreaming the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity to improve human health and wellbeing.

Target 13 - By 2030, facilitate appropriate access to genetic resources, ensure the fair and equitable sharing of benefits that arise from the utilization of genetic resources, digital sequence information on genetic resources, as well as traditional knowledge associated with genetic resources, facilitating a significant increase of the benefits shared through the adoption of effective legal, policy, administrative and capacity-building measures at all levels, in accordance with applicable international access and benefit-sharing instruments.

Target 14 - By 2030, biodiversity and its values are fully integrated into policies, regulations, planning and development processes, poverty reduction strategies, environmental assessments, and national accounting processes across all levels of government and all sectors of the economy, regressively aligning all public and private activities, both fiscal and financial flows with the goals and targets of the GBF and the Sustainable Development Goals.

Target 15 - By 2030 at all levels, policy and regulatory instruments are in place to ensure that all businesses and financial institutions, especially large and economically significant businesses with major impacts on biodiversity, assess, monitor, regularly evaluates, transparently report and accept responsibility for their dependencies as well as impacts on biodiversity and human rights across operations, value chains and portfolios thereby reducing negative impacts and ensuring ABS compliance. Furthermore, provide information needed to consumers to enable the public to make responsible production and consumption choices that are biodiversity positive, following a rights-based approach consistent with the Convention and other relevant international obligations.

Target 16 - By 2030 Reduce the national footprint of consumption by quarter, through establishment of supportive policy, legislative or regulatory frameworks to enable sustainable consumption choices thereby reducing overconsumption and waste generation.

Target 17 - By 2030 Establish, strengthen capacity for, and implement biosafety measures as set out in Article 8(g) of the Convention on Biological Diversity and measures for the handling of biotechnology and distribution of its benefits as set out in Article 19 of the Convention.

Target 18-By 2030 Identify and phase out or reform incentives harmful for biodiversity, taking into account national socio-economic conditions while substantially and progressively reducing them significantly toward the global target of at least US$ 500 billion per year and ensure that positive incentives are scaled up consistent and in harmony with the convention and other relevant international obligations.

Target 19 - By 2030, Progressively increase level of financial resources from all sources, including domestic, international, public and private resources, in accordance with Article 20 of the Convention, for the implementation NBSAP by atleast at USD 1 million per year by: (a)Significantly increasing domestic resource mobilization, facilitated by the preparation and implementation of national biodiversity finance plan according to national needs, priorities and circumstances; (b) Leveraging private finance, promoting blended finance, implementing strategies for raising new and additional resources, and encouraging the private sector to invest in biodiversity, including through impact funds and other instruments; (c) Stimulating innovative schemes such as payment for ecosystem services, green bonds, biodiversity offsets and credits, and benefit-sharing mechanisms, with environmental and social safeguards; (d) Optimizing co-benefits and synergies of finance targeting the biodiversity and climate crises; (e) Enhancing the role of collective actions, including by local communities, and non-market-based approaches including community based natural resource management and civil society cooperation and solidarity aimed at the conservation of biodiversity; (f) Enhancing the effectiveness, efficiency and transparency of resource provision and use;

Target 20 - By 2030, Strengthen capacity-building and development, access to and transfer of technology, and promote development of and access to innovation and technical and scientific cooperation at all levels, including through national, regional and international cooperation, fostering joint technology development and joint scientific research programmes for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity.

Target 21 - By 2030, Develop data management frameworks and information systems to ensure that the best available data is accessible to decision makers, practitioners and the public to guide effective and equitable governance, integrated and participatory management of biodiversity, and furthermore, to strengthen communication, awareness-raising, education, monitoring, research, knowledge management, notwithstanding traditional knowledge, innovations, practices and technologies of local communities which should only be accessed with their free, prior and informed consent, in accordance with national legislation.

Target 22 - By 2030, Mainstream gender at every level of government and across all sectors to ensure full, equitable, inclusive, effective and gender-responsive representation and participation in decision-making, and access to justice and information related to biodiversity by local communities, respecting their cultures and traditional knowledge, including women, girls, children, youth and persons with disabilities.

Target 23 - By 2030, Ensure gender equality in the implementation of the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan, through gender responsive approach to the three objectives of the Convention, by recognizing their equal rights and opportunities to natural resources and their full, equitable, meaningful and informed participation and leadership at all levels of action, engagement, policy and decision-making related to Biodiversity.
