The HAC for N&P story

The High Ambition Coalition for Nature and People 
(HAC for N&P) is an intergovernmental group of 117 countries co-chaired by Costa Rica and France and the United Kingdom as Ocean co-chair, which was originally set up to deliver a global agreement of protecting at least 30% of planet’s land and 30% of the planet’s ocean by 2030.

The HAC for Nature and People

Following the success at COP15, where a global deal to protect 30% of the world’s land and sea by 2030 was successfully adopted as part of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, the HAC for N&P is now focused on ensuring the delivery of this goal. The 30×30 goal will be vital in our efforts to halt accelerating species loss and protect the vital ecosystems that safeguard human health and economic security.
