The brief focuses on the achievements of the following three global biodiversity targets from the CBD post-2020 framework (CBD/WG2020/3/3), by 2030 and 2050:
- Enhance the integrity of all ecosystems, "with an increase of at least 15% in the area, connectivity, and integrity of natural ecosystems, supporting healthy and resilient populations of all species" by 2050.
- Achieve a "net gain in the area, connectivity, and integrity of natural systems of at least 5%" by 2030.
- Retain "existing intact and wilderness areas", halting losses by 2030 or before.
The study develops the modelling of two possible future scenarios for the 20 FABLE countries: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Ethiopia, Germany, Finland, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Norway, Russia, Rwanda, South Africa, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States.
