Some experts have proposed a species extinction limit as #biodiversity equivalent of the 1.5 degree target for #ClimateChange @nature suggests @IPBES & @UNBiodiversity be asked to assess science: could 1 numerical target work for #biodiversity? go.nature.com/3dWegnD

Fewer than 20 extinctions a year: does the world need a single target for biodiversity?

Nature - A proposal for one, simple goal, equivalent to the 2 °C climate target, needs to be thoroughly assessed.

I'd say the best equivalent is #MoreNature

All ideas are welcome, but certainly a species extinction limit such as the equivalent goal of 2ºC in climate change cannot be THE GOAL. A real and concrete objective is the reduction of the root causes of biodiversity loss. Sp extinction reduction comes together.

It's a false premise: the 'simple' 1.5 goal hasn't achieved remotely sufficient action either. The problem isn't the complexity/simplicity of the targets, it's the failure to undertake any meaningful action while many NGOs and govts make apologies and champion tokenism.
