Event: Conserving 30% of Lands and Waters by 2030.
Date and Time: May 14 | 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Worldwide, over fifty parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity have pledged to conserve 30% of their lands and waters by 2030. Parties to the Paris Agreement on Climate Change are embracing land and water conservation as a climate resilience strategy as well. Canada, the United States, and many other nations recognize that protecting natural areas may be the cheapest and fastest means of addressing climate change and conserving biodiversity.
The United States’ 30 x 30 commitment is expressed in an executive order issued by President Biden. If fully implemented, 30 x 30 would represent the largest shift in U.S. biodiversity conservation policy since the Endangered Species Act was enacted in 1973. In Canada, Prime Minister Trudeau has pledged a commitment to 30 x 30 before the U.N. and at other international gatherings. Both of these are types of “soft law,” which is easy to change and difficult to enforce.
This presentation considers the implications of 30 x 30 for transboundary biodiversity, including legal tools and trade-offs with conflicting uses, such as recreation and resource development. It will conclude with a Q and A session for registered participants.
