Thanks for checking! For KMGBF Target 3, we use #30x30 as the primary hashtag, as it’s the globally recognized shorthand for conserving 30% by 2030.
#30by30 is also used in some national contexts, but for global consistency we recommend #30x30.
Science is at the forefront of the global mobilisation the world needs to rein in biodiversity loss and the interconnected crises of climate change, land degradation and desertification, pollution and waste.
@unbiodiversity.bsky.social is at #IPBES12 to convey our appreciation and support.
On #InternationalDayOfEducation, we highlight why biodiversity must be at the heart of learning 🌱
Transformative, inclusive, lifelong education is key to implementing the #KMGBF and driving action #ForNature.
