UN 30by30 nature target won't be achieved until next century, warns Greenpeace
A UN target to protect and restore 30 per cent of nature by 2030 will not be achieved in ocean environments until 2107 on current trends, an analysis by Greenpeace has found.
The international campaign group warned about the slow rate of progress in the report, published ahead of the opening of the UN Biodiversity Cop16 in Cali, Colombia, today.
Nations agreed the target to protect nature across land and seas at the last biodiversity Cop in Montreal in 2022.
