The GSPC: 5 Themes

In the GSPC, 5 themes of work have been identified in which progress is needed for the conservation of plant diversity to be achieved.

Within each theme, outlined below, there are some specific targets which we can all contribute towards and which will allow progress to be measured.

In total there are 16 global targets for conserving plant diversity, and the deadline for meeting them is the year 2020.

The 16 targets provide a framework for policy formulation and a basis for monitoring. National targets developed within this framework may vary from country to country, according to national priorities and capacities, and taking into account differences in plant diversity.
