![]() However, only about a third of countries are reporting that they are on track to reach or exceed their national targets. By December 2022, most countries (90%) had established national targets in relation to Aichi Biodiversity Target 2. Target 15.9: There has been a steady upward trend in the number of countries incorporating biodiversity values into national accounting and reporting systems.The COVID-19 pandemic has brought an increased focus on the prevention, control, and management of biological invasions of pathogenic agents, particularly zoonotic pathogens, in order to mitigate their negative impacts on biodiversity and human health Target 15.8: Nearly all countries have now adopted national legislation relevant to the prevention or control of invasive alien species, mainly embedded within laws regarding cross-cutting sectors such as Animal Health, Plant Health, Fisheries and Aquaculture and 87% have aligned to global targets.Furthermore, 88 countries reported measures in place to implement the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (an increase of 76 countries since 2015). Target 15.6: At the end of 2022, 68 countries had at least one legislative, administrative or policy measure in place to ensure the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the use of genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge in accordance with the Nagoya Protocol (an increase of 62 countries since 2016).All indications are a deterioration in trend toward the target to halt the loss of biodiversity and, by 2020, protect and prevent the extinction of threatened species. In 2022, comprehensive assessments of reptile species found that 21% of species are threatened with extinction. However, over the last three decades since 1993, the Index has deteriorated 10%, with each decade deteriorating at a faster rate than the previous one. Globally, the Red List Index- derived based on repeat assessments of every species across groups of mammals, birds, amphibians, corals, and cycads- deteriorated by about 4% from 2015 to 2023. Target 15.5: Species extinction is irreversible, and thus perhaps the most fundamental human impact on nature. ![]() To reach the target of ensuring a land degradation neutral world by 2030, avoiding new land degradation and restoring at least one billion degraded hectares of land are needed. If land degradation continues at a similar rate, this would result in an additional 1.5 billion hectares of degraded land by 2030. Human activities, intensified by climate change, are the main drivers of land degradation, directly affecting 1.3 billion people. ![]()
