Campaign for Nature
October 23, 2020
Today, the Environment Council of the European Union committed to protecting at least one-third of its land and seas by 2030. The 30% protection target is a central component of the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030, which was formally and finally endorsed today by the European Union’s Environment Council after its May 2020 release by the European Commission. In the strategy, the EU also commits to advocating for the 30% target at the global level.
