7-19 December 2022 in Montreal, Canada, governments from around the world will come together to agree on a new set of goals to guide global action through 2030 to halt and reverse nature loss.

Nature is critical to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals and limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees. Adoption of a bold global biodiversity framework that addresses the key drivers of nature loss is needed to secure our own health and well-being alongside that of the planet.

What needs to happen at COP 15:

Adoption of an equitable and comprehensive framework matched by the resources needed for implementation
Clear targets to address overexploitation, pollution, fragmentation and unsustainable agricultural practices
A plan that safeguards the rights of indigenous peoples and recognizes their contributions as stewards of nature
Finance for biodiversity and alignment of financial flows with nature to drive finances toward sustainable investments and away from environmentally harmful ones

Countries are invited to commit to protecting 30% of the world’s land and sea by 2030, including key ecosystems around the world. Representatives of 191 countries will negotiate an environmental agreement that may have the same significance as the 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change.
