ضمان وتمكين حفظ وادارة ما ال يقل عن 30 في المائة من المناطق البرية ومناطق المياه الداخلية والمناطق الساحلية والبحرية، وال سيما المناطق ذات األهمية الخاصة للتنوع البيولوجي ووظائف وخدمات النظام اإليكولوجي، بشكل فعال من خالل و ضع نظم دارة بشكل منصف للمناطق ُ ممثلة إيكولوجيا ومت اربطة جيدا وم المحمية وتدابير الحفظ الفعالة األخرى القائمة على المناطق، واالعتراف باألقاليم األصيلة والتقليدية، حسب االقتضاء، ودمجها في المناظر الطبيعية األوسع نطاقا والمناظر البحرية والمحيطات، مع ضمان أن أي استخدام، عند االقتضاء في مثل هذه المناطق، يتوافق تماما مع نتائج الحفظ التي تقر وتحترم حقوق الشعوب األصلية والمجتمعات المحلية، بما فيها حقوقها على أراضيها التقليدية، بحلول عام 2030.

بحلول عام 2020، يُخفَّض معدل فقدان جميع الموائل الطبيعية، بما في ذلك الغابات، إلى النصف على الأقل، وحيثما كان ممكناً إلى ما يقرب من الصفر، ويُخفًّض تدهور وتفتت الموائل الطبيعية بقدر كبير.

بحلول عام 2015، تُخفَّض إلى أدنى حد الضغوط البشرية المتعددة على الشعب المرجانية، والنظم الإيكولوجية الضعيفة الأخرى التي تتأثر بتغير المناخ أو تُحمّض المحيطات، من أجل المحافظة على سلامتها ووظائفها.

بحلول عام 2020، يتم حفظ 17 في المائة على الأقل من مناطق اليابسة ومناطق المياه الداخلية و10 في المائة من المناطق الساحلية والبحرية، خصوصًا المناطق ذات الأهمية الخاصة للتنوع البيولوجي وخدمات النظام الإيكولوجي، من خلال نظم مدارة بفاعلية ومنصفة وتتسم بالترابط الجيد، وممثلة إيكولوجياً للمناطق المحمية وتدابير الحفظ الفعالة الأخرى القائمة على المنطقة، وإدماجها في المناظر الطبيعية الأرضية والمناظر الطبيعية البحرية الأوسع نطاقاً.

بحلول عام 2020، استعادة وصون النظم الإيكولوجية التي توفر خدمات أساسية، بما في ذلك الخدمات المرتبطة بالمياه، وتسهم في الصحة وسبل العيش والرفاه، مع مراعاة احتياجات النساء والمجتمعات الأصلية والمحلية والفقراء والضعفاء.

بحلول عام 2020، إتمام تعزيز قدرة النظم الإيكولوجية على التحمل ومساهمة التنوع البيولوجي في مخزون الكربون، من خلال الحفظ والاستعادة، بما في ذلك استعادة 15 في المئة على الأقل من النظم الإيكولوجية المتدهورة، مما يسهم بالتالي في التخفيف من تغير المناخ والتكيف معه ومكافحة التصحر.
