## Aichi Biodiversity Targets

**Also Known As / Other Names:** CBD Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011–2020

The ABT were adopted at COP10 of the Convention on Biological Diversity ([CBD](https://lemu-web.prie.to/pt/docs/alphabet/cbd/)) in Nagoya, Japan, in 2010\. They set 20 global biodiversity targets across five strategic goals, aiming to halt biodiversity loss by 2020\. None were fully achieved, though progress was made in areas like protected area coverage and awareness-raising. The ABT are widely seen as the baseline and precursor to the [GBF](https://lemu-web.prie.to/pt/docs/alphabet/gbf/).

| **Jurisdiction**     | Global (under the UN Convention on Biological Diversity)                            |

### Relationship to Lemu

ABT were the first globally agreed biodiversity targets, but their lack of measurability revealed the “nature data gap.” Lemu builds on this lesson: [Atlas](https://lemu-web.prie.to/pt/tag/atlas/) provides science-based, verifiable indicators to ensure that commitments under the [GBF](https://lemu-web.prie.to/pt/docs/alphabet/gbf/) and beyond are translated into measurable outcomes.

### Example in Practice

💡

A ****government** references ABT progress reports to benchmark its current biodiversity strategies against [GBF](https://lemu-web.prie.to/pt/docs/alphabet/gbf/) requirements.

💡

A ****conservation NGO** uses Lemu [Atlas](https://lemu-web.prie.to/pt/tag/atlas/) data to highlight gaps where ABT targets (like halting habitat loss) were missed, strengthening the case for more rigorous monitoring.

💡

A ****financial institution** analyses past ABT shortcomings and applies Lemu [indicators](https://lemu-web.prie.to/pt/docs/indicators/) to ensure future portfolios align with measurable biodiversity outcomes.
