Promote the importance of wetlands and the multiple values wetlands provide to people and nature and the contributions wetlands make to achieving sustainable development, including food security and poverty eradication, to transform the human-wetland relationship from one of exploitation, unsustainable resource extraction, and depletion to one where humans and nature live in harmony, including by incorporating wise use and an ecosystem approach within policy and planning at all levels.

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.

To improve the condition of affected ecosystems, combat desertification/land degradation, promote sustainable land management and contribute to land degradation neutrality
