Global Deal for Nature, Science Advances
According to the report’s authors, preserving at least 50% of the planet as intact natural habitats by 2050, is the only path that will enable a climate-resilient future.
This paper presents a “Global Deal for Nature” (GDN), a time-sensitive, science-driven plan to save the diversity and abundance of life on Earth from the climate crisis. The GDN aims to prevent the average global temperature from rising above 1.5 ºC by achieving formal protection for 30% of the Earth and securing an additional 20% of the planet as designated climate stabilization areas by 2050.
