The Aichi Biodiversity Targets were included in the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity for the 2011-2020 period adopted by the 10th meeting of the Conference of the Parties of the Convention on Biological Diversity
Strategic Goal A. Address the underlying causes of biodiversity loss by mainstreaming biodiversity across government and society
Tagged terms: biodiversity lossTarget 1: By 2020, at the latest, people are aware of the values of biodiversity and the steps they can take to conserve and use it sustainably.
Tagged terms: public awareness, resource accounting, sustainable useTarget 2: By 2020, at the latest, biodiversity values have been integrated into national and local development and poverty reduction strategies and planning processes and are being incorporated into national accounting, as appropriate, and reporting systems.

Target 3: By 2020, 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 international obligations, taking into account national socio economic conditions.

Target 4: By 2020, 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.
Tagged terms: stakeholder engagement, sustainable production, sustainable useIndicator 4.2: Ecological limits assessed in terms of sustainable production and consumption
Tagged terms: sustainable production, sustainable useIndicator 4.3: Trends in use of natural resources and/or related concepts
Tagged terms: stakeholder engagement, sustainable useTagged terms: protection of species, threatened species, trade in species
Strategic Goal B. Reduce the direct pressures on biodiversity and promote sustainable use
Tagged terms: risk management, sustainable useTarget 10: By 2015, 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.
Tagged terms: climate change, coral reef, ocean acidification, vulnerable ecosystemTarget 5: By 2020, the rate of loss of all natural habitats, including forests, is at least halved and where feasible brought close to zero, and degradation and fragmentation is significantly reduced.
Tagged terms: forest conservation, habitat loss, protection of habitatTagged terms: protection of habitat, protection of species, threatened species
Target 6: By 2020 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.

Tagged terms: by-catch, fisheries management, risk management, threatened speciesTarget 7: By 2020 areas under agriculture, aquaculture and forestry are managed sustainably, ensuring conservation of biodiversity.
Tagged terms: agriculture, aquaculture, conservation, forest management, sustainable useTarget 8: By 2020, pollution, including from excess nutrients, has been brought to levels that are not detrimental to ecosystem function and biodiversity.
Tagged terms: ecosystem preservation, fertilizer, pollutionTarget 9: By 2020, 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.

Strategic Goal C. To improve the status of biodiversity by safeguarding ecosystems, species and genetic diversity
Tagged terms: conservation, ecosystem preservation, protection of speciesTarget 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 area-based conservation measures, and integrated into the wider landscapes and seascapes.
Tagged terms: connectivity conservation, conservation, ecosystem service, inland water, marine resources conservation, protected area, water resources managementIndicator 11.1: Trends in area of terrestrial and inland water areas conserved
Tagged terms: inland water, protected area, water conservationTarget 12: By 2020 the extinction of known threatened species has been prevented and their conservation status, particularly of those most in decline, has been improved and sustained.
