Strategic Goal D: Enhance the benefits to all from biodiversity and ecosystem services Target 14: Target 15: Target 16: By 2020, ecosystems that provide essential services, including services relat- ed to water, and contribute to health, livelihoods and well-being, are restored and safeguarded, taking into account the needs of women, indigenous and local communities, and the poor and vulnerable. By 2020, ecosystem resilience and the contribution of biodiversity to carbon stocks has been enhanced, through conservation and restoration, including restoration of at least 15 per cent of degraded ecosystems, thereby contrib- uting to climate change mitigation and adaptation and to combating desert- ification. By 2015, the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization is in force and operational, consistent with national legislation. Strategic Goal E. Enhance implementation through participatory planning, knowledge management and capacity building
