This latest framework includes 4 goals and 23 targets to be achieved by 2030, to ensure that by 2030 at least 30 per cent of areas of degraded terrestrial, inland water, and coastal and marine ecosystems are under effective restoration. The Conference also approved a series of agreements on GBF implementation, including planning, monitoring, reporting and review, resource mobilization, capacity building to help countries fulfill their obligations, and Digital Sequence Information (DSI) on genetic resources.
