بحلول عام 2020 كحد أقصى، يكون الناس على علم بقيم التنوع البيولوجي، وبالخطوات التي يمكن اتخاذها لحفظه واستخدامه على نحو مستدام.

بحلول عام 2020 على أقصى تقدير، يجب أن تكون قيم التنوع البيولوجي قد أُدرجت في الاستراتيجيات الوطنية والمحلية للتنمية والحد من الفقر وعمليات التخطيط ويجري إدماجها، حسب الاقتضاء، في نظم المحاسبة الوطنية ونظم الإبلاغ.

بحلول عام 2020 كحد أقصى، تُلغى الحوافز، بما فيها الإعانات، الضارة بالتنوع البيولوجي، أو تزال تدريجياً أو تعدل من أجل تقليل أو تجنب التأثيرات السلبية، وتوضع وتُطبق حوافز إيجابية لحفظ التنوع البيولوجي واستخدامه المستدام، بما يتماشى وينسجم مع الاتفاقية والالتزامات الدولية الأخرى ذات الصلة، مع مراعاة الظروف الاجتماعية-الاقتصادية الوطنية.

بحلول عام 2015، يكون كل طرف قد أعد واعتمد كأداة من أدوات السياسة، وبدأ في تنفيذ، استراتيجية وخطة عمل وطنية للتنوع البيولوجي بحيث تكون فعالة وتشاركية ومحدثة.
