[SP] Towards effective ocean conservation in the 30 x 30 framework

As part of Goal 3 of the Global Biodiversity Framework, adopted at COP15 in Kunming-Montreal, which primarily aims to “ensure and enable that by 2030, at least 30 percent of terrestrial, inland water, and coastal and marine areas are conserved,” this event will be framed within a discussion panel featuring national and international organizations, including the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, INVEMAR, National Natural Parks of Colombia, and UNESCO. The panel will highlight the role of oceanic science and its relation to the various actions needed to achieve the 2030 goals, as well as the actions proposed under several initiatives. Furthermore, it’s important to recognize that it’s not just about Marine Protected Areas; other protection categories must be considered to ensure proper management through ecologically representative, well-connected, and equitably governed systems.

Lead Organisation: Dirección de Asuntos Marinos, Costeros y Recursos Acuáticos, Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible de Colombia
