Pre-COP27 Analysis: A Focus on Biodiversity

The document analyzes the momentum behind the 30x30 goal to protect 30% of the world's land and marine areas by 2030, noting the roles of the High Ambition Coalition for Nature and People and the Global Ocean Alliance. It highlights the influence of the UN Ocean Conference and the upcoming CBD COP15 on COP27, suggesting that while the 30x30 framework will be settled after COP27, the summit may see new country commitments and policies regarding forests and marine resources.

• The High Ambition Coalition for Nature and People (HAC), led by Costa Rica and France, has secured commitments from more than 100 countries to protect 30% of the world's land and marine areas by 2030.
• The Global Ocean Alliance, led by the United Kingdom, aims to designate 30% of the world's oceans as Marine Protected Areas (MPAs).
• While the 30x30 goal is a major international nature-based policy that could benefit coastal and island communities, specific implementation frameworks are expected to emerge from the CBD COP15, which is scheduled for December 7-19, 2022, after COP27.
• Key areas for potential policy development at COP27 include marine conservation, the protection of marine resources, and further policies to protect forests, building on the Glasgow Leaders’ Declaration on Forests and Land Use and the FACT Statement from COP26.
