In 2021,the city of Kunming in Yunnan Province,China,will host the fifteenth meeting of Conference of Parties of the Convention on Biological Diversity.The meeting is expected to be the pivotal moment at which the world\'s governments agree on a new\'Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework\'(https://www.cbd.int/conferences/post2020).The framework is anticipated to be structured around a small number of outcome goals for 2050—a compelling case has been made that these should include explicit goals for ecosystems,species,genetic diversity and the contributions which nature makes to people[1].These would support both the 2050 Vision of the Convention on Biological Diversity and the other seven biodiversity-related conventions(https://www.cbd.int/brc/),as essential components of the UN Sustainable Development Goals(https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/sdgs).They would in turn be supported by perhaps 20 action targets for 2030,the implementation of which would be necessary and sufficient to deliver the goals.Crucially,this structure would incentivize the establishment of\'science-based targets\'for explicit contributions towards the goals from all actors[2],allowing\'mainstreaming\'of biodiversity across all of society.
