Global ICCA Support Initiative 30 x 30

Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IPLCs) play a crucial role in the conservation of biological diversity at local, national and global levels. The ICCA GSI 30x30 (Phase 2) supports the implementation of Targets 3 and 22 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) in 40-50 countries. Target 3 refers to the need to protect or conserve a minimum of 30% of the planet’s land and sea surface by the year 2030. Target 22 refers to the need for equitable, inclusive and effective involvement of IPLCs in decision-making about nature conservation and biodiversity. The primary focus of the initiative is the provision of small grants directly to civil society organizations, Indigenous Peoples and community-based organizations. The initiative shares community-based good practices, network SGP grantee partners, and upscale and replicate lessons learned through improvements to the relevant ICCA enabling policy and legal frameworks.
