Global Biodiversity Outlook 4 (G (GBO-4) 4) Target 5 Natural - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Global Biodiversity Outlook 4 (G (GBO-4) 4) Target 5 – Natural habitat loss reduced by half and to zero where possible “ By 2020, the rate of loss of all natural habitats, including forests, is at least halved and where feasible brought close to zero, and degradation and fragmentation is significantly reduced .” Low confidence in the evaluation due to the lack of data on ecosystems other than forests

Global Biodiversity Outlook 4 (G (GBO-4) 4) Target 15 – Ecosystem restoration and enhancement of resilience By 2020, ecosystem resilience and the contribution of biodiversity to carbon stocks has been enhanced, through conservation and restoration, including restoration of at least 15 per cent of degraded ecosystems, thereby contributing to climate change mitigation and adaptation and to combating desertification. Low confidence given the lack of available data

1. Assess progress in National reports 2. Assess outlook based on national Secretariat’s strategy to targets support implementation 3. Identify barriers to better national of T5 and 15 targets 4. Identify potential for synergies with relevant initiatives 5. Identify needs for the design of implementation measures

What makes a target S.M.A.R.T ? 1. Assess progress in National reports National Target for AT5 Rate of abatement of ecosystem loss 2. Assess outlook • Specific Target year based on national Specification of baseline period targets • Measurable Prioritization of certain ecosystems 3. Identify barriers to National Target for AT15 • Achievable better national targets target for the conservation of carbon in • Realistic natural ecosystem 4. Identify potential target for the enhancement of carbon in for synergies with • Time-bound natural ecosystem relevant initiatives target area for restoration 5. Identify needs for target area for restoration includes the design of breakdown by ecosystem implementation Map of area targeted for restoration measures
