CHM - ORTNational Target
General
State of Palestine
Reclaim/protect 50% of degraded freshwater areas by 2050; under limited sovereignty, protect 50% of those in Areas A and B by 2030; develop marine management planning for Gaza.
ENAction 2.1: Develop and implement a program for preservation of key wetlands and freshwater sources like Marj Sanour, Marj Deir Ballot, Bassat Wadi el Mallaha, and springs
Action 2.2: Rehabilitation of the water springs and wells in areas of rich biodiversity
Action 2.3: Protect 8–10% of the marine ecosystem off the coast of the Gaza strip

GBF-T02. 30% of degraded areas are under effective restoration GBF-T02. 30% of degraded areas are under effective restorationEnsure that by 2030 at least 30 per cent of areas of degraded terrestrial, inland water, and coastal and marine ecosystems are under effective restoration, in order to enhance biodiversity and ecosystem functions and services, ecological integrity and connectivity. | High |
GBF-T03. 30% of areas are effectively conserved GBF-T03. 30% of areas are effectively conservedEnsure and enable that by 2030 at least 30 per cent of terrestrial, inland water, and of coastal and marine areas, especially areas of particular importance for biodiversity and ecosystem functions and services, are effectively conserved and managed through ecologically representative, well-connected and equitably governed systems of protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures, recognizing indigenous and traditional territories where applicable, and integrated into wider landscapes, seascapes and the ocean, while ensuring that any sustainable use, where appropriate in such areas, is fully consistent with conservation outcomes, recognizing and respecting the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities, including over their traditional territories. | High |
