К 2020 году, но не позднее этого срока, люди осведомлены о стоимостной ценности биоразнообразия и о мерах, которые они могут принимать для его сохранения и устойчивого использования.

К 2020 году, но не позднее этого срока, правительства, деловые круги и субъекты деятельности на всех уровнях приняли меры или внедрили планы в целях достижения устойчивости производства и потребления и не допускают, чтобы последствия использования природных ресурсов нарушали экологическую устойчивость.

К 2020 году регулирование и промысел всех запасов рыбы и беспозвоночных и водяных растений осуществляются устойчиво, на законных основаниях и с применением подходов с позиций экосистем, чтобы избегать чрезмерной эксплуатации рыбных ресурсов, внедрены планы и меры восстановления всех истощенных видов, рыболовный промысел не оказывает значительного неблагоприятного воздействия на угрожаемые виды и уязвимые экосистемы и воздействие рыболовства на живые запасы, виды и экосистемы не превышает экологически безопасных пределов.

К 2020 году территории, занятые под сельское хозяйство, аквакультуру и лесное хозяйство, должны управляться устойчивым образом, обеспечивая сохранение биоразнообразия.

К 2020 году загрязнение окружающей среды, в том числе в результате чрезмерного сброса биогенных веществ, доведено до уровней, при которых функционированию экосистем и биоразнообразию не наносится ущерба.

К 2020 году усовершенствованы, широко совместно используются, передаются и применяются знания, научная база и технологии, связанные с биоразнообразием, его стоимостной ценностью и функционированием, его статусом и тенденциями в этой области, а также с последствиями его утраты.

Rational

This aims to reduce the international spread of pests, as the losses caused by the spread of a new pest into new areas or crops can be much more catastrophic than endemic pests in a given area. The impact of plant pests on food security is particularly evident in the developing world, where plant health regulatory frameworks often lack capacity. If the spread of pests is reduced and pest management is improved, crop productivity can increase and production costs can be reduced.
