{Empty}
After meeting in Metz 5-6 May 2019, the G7 has decided to "(1) Accelerate and intensify our efforts to halt the biodiversity loss, to vlaue, conserve, restore and wisely
use biodiversity, thereby maintaining ecosystem services, sustaining a healthy planet and delivering benefits essential for all people; (2) Encourage the engagement of other actors and stakeholders, including all relevant organizations, Indigenous Peoples and local communities, local and sub-national governments and authorities, academia, women’s and youth groups, the business, financial and economic sectors, and non-governmental organizations, to support and complement our efforts; and (3) Support the development and implementation of a post-2020 global biodiversity framework, which should have a strong level of ambition and practicality, in order to facilitate the transformational changes needed to achieve the 2050 Vision for Biodiversity. It should build on the lessons learned from the implementation of the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 and its Aichi Biodiversity Targets, as well as on the best available science and knowledge. It should be aligned with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development."
