Sky News published this video item, entitled “COP 15: Delegates strike deal to protect 30 per cent of the planet by 2030” – below is their description.
Delegates at the COP15 biodiversity summit have pledged that at least 30% of the world’s land, inland waters, coastal areas, and oceans will come under conservation in the next eight years.
Currently, 17% and 10% of the world’s terrestrial and marine areas respectively are under protection.
Countries taking part in the UN biodiversity conference agreed to a total of 23 targets, including halving global food waste and slashing or phasing out government subsidies that harm nature by more than £400billion-a-year by the end of the decade.
