Logar que para 2030 al menos un 30 por ciento de las zonas de ecosistemas terrestres, de aguas continentales, costeros y marinos degradados estén siendo objeto de una restauración efectiva, con el fin de mejorar la biodiversidad y las funciones y los servicios de los ecosistemas, la integridad ecológica y la conectividad.

Para 2020, a más tardar, los gobiernos, empresas e interesados directos de todos los niveles habrán adoptado medidas o habrán puesto en marcha planes para lograr la sostenibilidad en la producción y el consumo y habrán mantenido los impactos del uso de los recursos nacionales dentro de límites ecológicos seguros.

Para 2020, se habrá reducido por lo menos a la mitad y, donde resulte factible, se habrá reducido hasta un valor cercano a cero, el ritmo de pérdida de todos los hábitats naturales, incluidos los bosques, y se habrá reducido de manera significativa la degradación y fragmentación.

Para 2020, las zonas destinadas a agricultura, acuicultura y silvicultura se gestionarán de manera sostenible, garantizándose la conservación de la diversidad biológica.

Para 2020, se habrá llevado la contaminación, incluida aquella producida por exceso de nutrientes, a niveles que no resulten perjudiciales para el funcionamiento de los ecosistemas y para la diversidad biológica.

Para 2015, se habrán reducido al mínimo las múltiples presiones antropógenas sobre los arrecifes de coral y otros ecosistemas vulnerables afectados por el cambio climático o la acidificación de los océanos, a fin de mantener su integridad y funcionamiento.

Para 2020, se habrá evitado la extinción de especies amenazadas identificadas y se habrá mejorado y sostenido su estado de conservación, especialmente el de las especies en mayor disminución.

Para 2020, se habrá mantenido la diversidad genética de las especies vegetales cultivadas y de los animales de granja y domesticados y de las especies silvestres emparentadas, incluidas otras especies de valor socioeconómico y cultural, y se habrán desarrollado y puesto en práctica estrategias para reducir al mínimo la erosión genética y para salvaguardar su diversidad genética.

Para 2020, se habrán restaurado y salvaguardado los ecosistemas que proporcionan servicios esenciales, incluidos servicios relacionados con el agua, y que contribuyen a la salud, los medios de vida y el bienestar, tomando en cuenta las necesidades de las mujeres, las comunidades indígenas y locales y las personas pobres y vulnerables.

Para 2020, se habrá incrementado la capacidad de recuperación de los ecosistemas y la contribución de la diversidad biológica a las reservas de carbono, mediante la conservación y la restauración, incluida la restauración de por lo menos el 15% de los ecosistemas degradados, contribuyendo así a la mitigación del cambio climático y a la adaptación a este, así como a la lucha contra la desertificación.
