Known colloquially as the ‚Äò30x30 target‚', Target 3 of the Global Biodiversity Framework contains an ambitious commitment to conserve 30% of terrestrial, inland water, coastal and marine areas by 2030, "through ecologically representative, well-connected and equitably governed systems of protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures, recognizing indigenous and traditional territories."
30x30: A Guide to Inclusive, Equitable and Effective Implementation of Target 3 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework is the first globally relevant guide on Target 3. Developed by WWF, IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas, and The Nature Conservancy, and supported by funding from the Global Environment Facility, this guide is intended to support governments and many other actors to contribute to this complex target in ways that are inclusive, equitable and effective.
The guide contains two main parts. Part 1 introduces Target 3 and provides practical advice about planning for and implementing Target 3. Part 2 engages with the details of each element of the target, digging deeper into the definitions and concepts. It also makes recommendations for how to integrate elements of Target 3 into National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plans and about how to ensure Target 3 activities are also climate responsive.

Over 70% of food-related GHG emissions are from agricultural practices. For companies that have set ambitious climate targets, there is a wide range of potential actions that can be taken to mitigate these emissions. However, these actions require financial capital, technical expertise, and culturally appropriate local adaptation. At the same time, farmers often operate with thin or negative profit margins, making their own investments into sustainability challenging. Appropriate programs and incentives designed to shift behavior on farms to mitigate GHG emissions will be critical.
After interviewing more than 90 experts from corporations, industry associations, and civil society groups, we developed a typology of incentives and examples of their use. This report provides a landscape analysis of on-farm incentive programs implemented by more than 20 companies across the industry.

This guide was developed for program managers and donors who seek to understand and assess the strength of internal control functions in government agencies responsible for enforcing laws against illegal wildlife trade (IWT). It provides detailed steps and guidance based on experience implementing assessments of internal controls, but a scan of the guide may also be helpful for conservation practitioners who want to understand more about how internal controls systems should work to reduce risks posed by corruption. Such an assessment can aid strategic efforts to enhance the integrity of government operations and to reduce the negative impact of corruption on the enforcement of IWT laws. Though this guide focuses on IWT, the same approach can be useful in other areas of natural resource management, such as forests and fisheries.
