Operational framework can help countries assess national contributions to protecting 30% of land and sea by 2030

A new article introduces a science-based operational framework developed by researchers from several universities and the Danish Biodiversity Council. The framework can help countries assess their genuine national contributions to protecting 30% of land and sea by 2030. When applied to Denmark, the framework shows that the official Danish reporting substantially overestimates the country's progress toward meeting the international targets. The work is published in the journal One Earth.
