In this report, we assessed global progress toward the 30×30 target for ocean conservation, a commitment made under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) to protect 30% of the Earth’s land, freshwater, and the ocean by 2030. Metabolic, in collaboration with Bloomberg Philanthropies Ocean Initiative, Campaign for Nature, Marine Conservation Institute, and SkyTruth, provides insights into the current state of ocean conservation and offers five key recommendations to accelerate governmental action. These recommendations aim to inform discussions at the COP16 UN Biodiversity Conference in October 2024.
