A resolution expressing the need for the Federal Government to establish a national biodiversity strategy for protecting biodiversity for current and future generations.
This resolution (SRES 248) calls on the federal government to create a national biodiversity strategy to address accelerating biodiversity loss. It specifically urges the establishment of a coordinated strategy with key goals, including protecting at least 30% of U.S. lands and waters by 2030 (the "30x30" target), protecting endangered species, integrating climate action, and incorporating Indigenous knowledge. The strategy would require federal agencies to coordinate conservation efforts, collaborate with states, tribes, and communities, and ensure equitable access to nature for historically impacted groups like Tribal communities and communities of color. As a non-binding resolution, it directs agencies to develop this strategy but does not create new laws or funding.
