Does China support the inclusion of the "3030" goal in the global biodiversity framework?
During the consultation on the "post-2020 global biodiversity framework", many countries represented by the "high ambition alliance" put forward the goal of protecting 30% of the world's land and 30% of the world's oceans by 2030. At the press conference last night, a German reporter asked whether China supports "3030" The goal is written into the global biodiversity framework? Huang Runqiu, Minister of ecological environment, said that as the host country of COP15, China will strive to promote all parties to expand consensus and move towards each other to achieve an ambitious and pragmatic goal of protected areas.

The "3030" is a "high ambition" The goal reflects people's urgent desire and grand goal to reverse the trend of global biodiversity loss. However, some countries put forward that the goal of determining the area of protected areas should consider not only quantity, but also quality.
A "high ambition", he said The achievement of the objectives must be supported by the financial resources and institutional guarantee required to support the achievement of the objectives. It is also inseparable from effective management and the wide participation of local, community and the public, so as to achieve both ambition and pragmatism.
