Campaign for Nature
June 13, 2021
Today G7 Heads of State announced a joint commitment to a historic “Nature Compact” during their meeting in Cornwall, UK. The Nature Compact is the most wide-ranging and ambitious set of coordinated actions to address the crisis facing nature ever agreed to by G7 countries.
Three of the Campaign for Nature’s key priorities feature prominently in the G7 Nature Compact, including:
An agreement to support new global targets to protect and conserve at least 30% of global land and at least 30% of global ocean by 2030. The agreement states that the nations will lead by example by effectively protecting and conserving the same percentage of their national land, inland waters and coastal and marine areas by 2030.
A commitment to prioritize the inclusion of Indigenous Peoples and local communities in co-design, decision-making and implementation of the systems change needed for the Nature Compact’s success.
A pledge to dramatically increase investment in nature from all sources including the percentage of public climate finance directed towards nature.
