The High Ambition Coalition for Nature and People Formalizes Partnership with the Campaign for Nature To Deliver 30 by 30 Goal

Following the agreement of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) at COP15, Campaign for Nature (CfN) is delighted to announce that a formal partnership between CfN and the High Ambition Coalition for Nature and People (HAC) has been agreed to deliver on the implementation of 30x30.

Throughout the GBF negotiations, CfN was proud to provide technical support to the HAC and its members by facilitating engagement with technical experts from various fields, supporting high-level events, and driving media outreach. 

As we move into the implementation phase of the GBF, CfN is committed to extending and expanding the support offered to the HAC to ensure the successful implementation of the 30x30 goal in a manner that ensures adequate financial support for countries and fully integrates and respects Indigenous leadership and Indigenous rights. 

Through an ongoing partnership with the HAC, CfN hopes to: maintain political and public support for the 30x30 goal keeping it high on the global agenda; create enabling environments for HAC members and non-HAC members to contribute to the 30x30 goal; and improve access to technical and financial assistance.

This is the first formal partnership that the HAC has established since announcing that it would remain together to support implementation.

CfN looks forward to continuing its work with the HAC to ensure the world can achieve the ambitious target of conserving at least 30 per cent of the planet’s land and ocean by 2030.
