On track or off course? Achieving the 30×30 target in the ocean

Protecting 30% of the ocean is essential to safeguard both our ocean’s diverse ecosystems and human health and livelihoods. In December 2022, governments adopted the Global Biodiversity Framework, with its landmark global target of protecting and conserving at least 30% of land and ocean by 2030 (‘30×30’). With the focus now on implementation, it is essential that countries demonstrate leadership and continue momentum for our ocean by announcing new marine protected areas and enhancing and improving existing protections.

This event will showcase the findings of a new report commissioned by the Bloomberg Ocean Fund and developed in partnership with Campaign for Nature, the Marine Conservation Institute, and SkyTruth. Off track or on course? Assessing progress toward achieving the 30×30 target in the ocean, assesses progress toward the global target of protecting and conserving 30% of the ocean by 2030.

Alongside a discussion of the report’s findings, the event will showcase examples of action and best practice at local and national levels. The aim is to generate momentum and share learning in the implementation of 30×30 in the ocean.
