CHM - ORTThe aim of this target is to reduce the negative effects of climate change on ecosystems including land (terrestrial), freshwater (rivers, lakes), coastal areas, and marine ecosystems so that these ecosystems can remain healthy, continue functioning, and withstand the pressures brought by climate change.
Promote Nature Based solutions in adaptation interventions
Strengthen climate early warning systems
Promote blue and green carbon offset projects.
Promote implementation of climate resilience concept in all aspects
| Global Targets | Degree of Alignment |
GBF-T01. All areas are planned or managed to bring loss of areas of high biodiversity importance close to zero GBF-T01. All areas are planned or managed to bring loss of areas of high biodiversity importance close to zeroEnsure that all areas are under participatory, integrated, and biodiversity inclusive spatial planning and/or effective management processes addressing land and sea use change, to bring the loss of areas of high biodiversity importance, including ecosystems of high ecological integrity, close to zero by 2030, while respecting the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities. | |
GBF-T04. Threatened species are recovering, genetic diversity is being maintained and human-wildlife conflict is being managed GBF-T04. Threatened species are recovering, genetic diversity is being maintained and human-wildlife conflict is being managedEnsure urgent management actions to halt human induced extinction of known threatened species and for the recovery and conservation of species, in particular threatened species, to significantly reduce extinction risk, as well as to maintain and restore the genetic diversity within and between populations of native, wild and domesticated species to maintain their adaptive potential, including through in situ and ex situ conservation and sustainable management practices, and effectively manage human-wildlife interactions to minimize human-wildlife conflict for coexistence. | |
GBF-T08. Minimize impacts of climate change and ocean acidification including through nature-based solutions and/or ecosystem-based approaches GBF-T08. Minimize impacts of climate change and ocean acidification including through nature-based solutions and/or ecosystem-based approachesMinimize the impact of climate change and ocean acidification on biodiversity and increase its resilience through mitigation, adaptation, and disaster risk reduction actions, including through nature-based solution and/or ecosystem-based approaches, while minimizing negative and fostering positive impacts of climate action on biodiversity. | |
GBF-T09. Management of wild species is sustainable and benefits people GBF-T09. Management of wild species is sustainable and benefits peopleEnsure that the management and use of wild species are sustainable, thereby providing social, economic and environmental benefits for people, especially those in vulnerable situations and those most dependent on biodiversity, including through sustainable biodiversity-based activities, products and services that enhance biodiversity, and protecting and encouraging customary sustainable use by indigenous peoples and local communities. | |
GBF-T13. Fair and equitable sharing of benefits from genetic resources, digital sequence information and associated traditional knowledge GBF-T13. Fair and equitable sharing of benefits from genetic resources, digital sequence information and associated traditional knowledgeTake effective legal, policy, administrative and capacity-building measures at all levels, as appropriate, to ensure the fair and equitable sharing of benefits that arise from the utilization of genetic resources and from digital sequence information on genetic resources, as well as traditional knowledge associated with genetic resources, and facilitating appropriate access to genetic resources, and by 2030 facilitating a significant increase of the benefits shared, in accordance with applicable international access and benefit-sharing instruments. | |
GBF-T16. Sustainable consumption choices are enabled, and food waste reduced by half GBF-T16. Sustainable consumption choices are enabled, and food waste reduced by halfEnsure that people are encouraged and enabled to make sustainable consumption choices including by establishing supportive policy, legislative or regulatory frameworks, improving education and access to relevant and accurate information and alternatives, and by 2030, reduce the global footprint of consumption in an equitable manner, including through halving global food waste, significantly reducing overconsumption and substantially reducing waste generation, in order for all people to live well in harmony with Mother Earth. |
National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) incorporate climate change adaptation measures for biodiversity and ecosystems.
Ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) approaches are included in national climate change adaptation policies and action plans.
Relevant sectors (e.g., forestry, fisheries, agriculture, water management) integrate climate resilience into their management frameworks.
Local communities, Indigenous Peoples, and stakeholders are actively involved in planning and implementing ecosystem-based adaptation actions.
Restoration programs have been implemented for degraded ecosystems to increase resilience (e.g., reforestation, wetland rehabilitation, coral reef restoration).
Capacity-building programs have been implemented to strengthen technical expertise on ecosystem resilience and climate change adaptation
Target aligned with international frameworks such as the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement, ensuring coherence between biodiversity and climate policies.
Climate Change Adaptation for Ecosystems :The target focuses on helping ecosystems adapt to the current and future effects of climate change. This includes actions such as habitat restoration, conservation, improved land management, and sustainable use of resources.
Ecosystem Integrity and Resilience
Supports nature-based solutions to climate change as promoted by both CBD and UNFCCC frameworks.
Links to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) : Supports SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 14 (Life Below Water), and SDG 15 (Life on Land).
