It is about a new global agreement and concrete goals to protect biodiversity and nature.
The previous targets that were set applied to 2011-2020.
The previous goals, the so-called Aichi goals, have been criticized for being difficult to measure.
One point in the agreement is now that 30 percent of the earth's surface must be protected by 2030.
Today, 17 percent of the world's land areas are protected, and ten percent of marine areas are protected, according to AP.
- We need clear and, above all, numerical targets for the global work to save biological diversity, said Climate and Environment Minister Romina Pourmokhtari (L) at a press briefing on Sunday just before the agreement was reached.
Hope for greater influence - with the support of the convention
The Sámi Parliament has been in Montreal with two civil servants as part of the Swedish delegation, and also politicians on site.
Representatives from the Sami Council and from the entire indigenous world have also been in Montreal.
- In every article it appears that indigenous peoples and local communities must be taken into account.
The entire convention is imbued with that and that is positive, says the chairman of the board of the Sami Parliament, Håkan Jonsson.
What practical significance might it have?
- I'm a bit skeptical, but if Sweden is to be a leading country, then you should adapt to the conventions you have adopted.
So I'm hoping we'll have more influence when it comes to exploits.
