development and poverty reduction and planning processes are being incorporated into national
accounting as appropriate, and reporting systems. |
2 |
| National Target 3 |
By 2021, at the latest, incentives, including subsidies, harmful to biodiversity are eliminated,
phased out or reformed in order to minimize or avoid negative impacts, and positive incentives for
the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity are developed and applied, consistent and in
harmony with the Convention and other relevant obligations, taking into account national
socioeconomic conditions. |

| National Target 4 |
By 2021, at the latest, Governments, business and stakeholders at all levels have taken steps to
achieve or have implemented plans for sustainable production and consumption and have kept
the impacts of use of natural resources well within safe ecological limits. |

where feasible, brought close to zero, and degradation and fragmentation is significantly reduced. |
5 |
| National Target 6 |
By 2021, all fish and invertebrate stocks and aquatic plants are managed and harvested sustainably, legally and applying ecosystem-based approaches, so that overfishing is avoided, recovery plans and measures are in place for all depleted species, fisheries have no significant adverse impacts on threatened species and vulnerable ecosystems and the impacts of fisheries on stocks, species and ecosystems are within safe ecological limits. |

| National Target 9 |
By 2021, invasive alien species and pathways are identified and prioritized, priority species are controlled or eradicated, and measures are in place to manage pathways to prevent their introduction and establishment. |
9 |
| National Target 10 |
By 2021, the multiple anthropogenic pressures on coral reefs, and other vulnerable ecosystems impacted by climate change or ocean acidification are minimized, so as to maintain their integrity and functioning. |
10 |
| National Target 11 |
By 2020, at least 17 per cent of terrestrial and inland water, and 10 per cent of coastal and marine areas, especially areas of particular importance for biodiversity and ecosystem services, are conserved through effectively and equitably managed, ecologically representative and well connected systems of protected areas and other effective based conservation measures, and integrated into the wider landscapes and seascapes. |
11 |
| National Target 12 |
By 2021, the extinction of known threatened species has been prevented and their conservation status, particularly of those most in decline, has been improved and sustained. |
12 |
| National Target 13 |
By 2021, the genetic diversity of cultivated plants and farmed and domesticated animals and of
wild relatives, including other socioeconomically as well as culturally valuable species, is maintained, and strategies have been developed and implemented for minimizing genetic erosion and safeguarding their genetic diversity. |
13 |
| National Target 14 |
By 2020, ecosystems that provide essential services, including services related to water, and contribute to health, livelihoods and well-being, are restored and safeguarded, taking into account the needs of women, and local communities and the poor and vulnerable. |
14 |
| National Target 15 |
By 2020, ecosystem resilience and the contribution of biodiversity to carbon stocks have been enhanced, through conservation and restoration, including restoration of at least 15 per cent of degraded ecosystems, hereby contributing to climate change mitigation and adaptation and to combating desertification. |
