Post 2010

2010 calls for new biodiversity targets
In 2002 the Parties to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity committed themselves to achieve the 2010-target. The target aims to achieve by 2010 a significant reduction of the current rate of biodiversity loss at the global, regional and national level as a contribution to poverty alleviation and to the benefit of all life on Earth.

The 2010 Biodiversity Target

As we now draw nearer to 2010, we realize that the challenges ahead are severe. We must continue to strengthen our efforts for the biodiversity, because human welfare relies on securing biodiversity and healthy ecosystems. In 2010 countries will shape and agree on new political and international objectives for biodiversity. The sixth Trondheim Conference on Biodiversity has considered status and lessons learned from the 2010 target and will provide CBD with a sound basis for developing post 2010 biodiversity targets.
