Retain and effectively manage existing wetlands and restore lost and degraded wetlands, contributing to the 30% of Target 2 of the KMGBF.

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.

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

Indicators

UNCCD indicators:

• SO 1-1 Trends in land cover

• 2.2 Area under restoration 
• Extent of natural ecosystems by type (Component indicator under target 2)
• Proportion of total land area that is under cultivation (Complementary indicator under target 1)
• Above-ground biomass stock in forests (tonnes/ha)  (Complementary indicator under target 8)
• Changes in soil organic carbon stocks (Complementary indicator under target 10)
• Proportion of land that is degraded over total land area (Complementary indicator under target 10)

De aquí a 2020, proteger y restablecer los ecosistemas relacionados con el agua, incluidos los bosques, las montañas, los humedales, los ríos, los acuíferos y los lagos

De aquí a 2020, gestionar y proteger sosteniblemente los ecosistemas marinos y costeros para evitar efectos adversos importantes, incluso fortaleciendo su resiliencia, y adoptar medidas para restaurarlos a fin de restablecer la salud y la productividad de los océanos

De aquí a 2020, asegurar la conservación, el restablecimiento y el uso sostenible de los ecosistemas terrestres y los ecosistemas interiores de agua dulce y sus servicios, en particular los bosques, los humedales, las montañas y las zonas áridas, en consonancia con las obligaciones contraídas en virtud de acuerdos internacionales

De aquí a 2030, luchar contra la desertificación, rehabilitar las tierras y los suelos degradados, incluidas las tierras afectadas por la desertificación, la sequía y las inundaciones, y procurar lograr un mundo con efecto neutro en la degradación de las tierras

Explanation: Steps will be taken to establish ecologically representative, well-connected systems of protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures, to ensure that, among others, the connectivity of all areas of importance for migratory species – as well as other areas that may be ecologically linked to them – is preserved. This could include permanent or temporal legal protection measures to ensure migratory ranges and their habitats are maintained, restored, effectively conserved and managed, and provide important biological functions such as opportunities for feeding, resting and habitat for reproduction.

National wetland inventories have been initiated, completed or updated and disseminated and used for promoting the conservation and effective management of all wetlands.

Baseline

• At COP12, 47% of Parties have a complete national wetlands inventory. (National Reports to COP12).
• At COP13, [XX]% of Parties % of Parties have updated their national inventories in the last decade. (New question for National Reports).

Indicator

• % of Parties that have complete national wetland inventories. (Data source: National Reports).
• % of Parties that have updated their national inventories in the last decade. (Data source: new question for National Reports).

Restoration is in progress in degraded wetlands, with priority to wetlands that are relevant for biodiversity conservation, disaster risk reduction, livelihoods and/or climate change mitigation and adaptation.

Baseline

• 68% of Parties have identified priority sites for restoration. (National Reports to COP12).
• 70% of Parties have implemented restoration or rehabilitation programmes. (National Reports to COP12).

Indicator

• % of Parties that have established restoration plans [or activities] for sites. (Data source: National Reports).
• % of Parties that have implemented effective restoration or rehabilitation projects. (Data source: National Reports).

Possible further indicators that may be developed

• {Outcome-based indicators(s) related to (extent of) wetland restoration possibly including remote sensing as appropriate}.
