Now that a framework has been adopted, accelerating action across sectors and society toward the realization of the goals and targets of the GBF is urgent to address the key drivers of biodiversity loss and lift the nature agenda.

Four overarching goals to be achieved by 2050 focus on ecosystem and species health including to halt human-induced species extinction, the sustainable use of biodiversity, equitable sharing of benefits, and on implementation and finance to include closing the biodiversity finance gap of $700 billion per year.

Among the twenty-three targets to be achieved by 2030 include 30 per cent conservation of land, sea and inland waters, 30 per cent restoration of degraded ecosystems, halving the introduction of invasive species, and $500 billion/year reduction in harmful subsidies.
