IPBES Global Assessment and Key Findings Cited in United States Senate Resolution to Protect 30% of the Land and Ocean by 2030
English (396)
The IPBES Global Assessment and key findings from the Report were cited within the text of United States Senate Resolution 372 in the 116th Congress, a bill which suggests that "the Federal Government should establish a national goal of conserving at least 30 percent of the land and 30 percent of the ocean within the territory of the United States by 2030."
Namely, the findings that 1 million species face extinction, the direct drivers of biodiversity loss and five specific facts were incorporated in the bill to justify this proposal: ((A) human activities are damaging 2⁄3 of ocean areas; (B) only 3 percent of ocean areas remain pristine; (C) 15 percent of mangroves remain; (D) 50 percent of coral reefs remain; and (E) at the current rate of losses, less than 10 percent of the Earth will be free of substantial human impact by 2050);.
