Footprint
By 2020, humanity’s global footprint falls below its 2000 level and
continues its downward trend,
specifically in the areas of:
• energy/carbon footprint;
• commodities (crops, meat, fish and wood) footprint;
• water footprint.
By 2050, humanity’s global footprint stays within the Earth’s capacity to
sustain life and the natural resources of our planet are shared equitably.
Biodiversity
By 2020, biodiversity is protected and well managed in the world’s most
outstanding natural places.
By 2050, the integrity of the most outstanding natural places on earth is
conserved, contributing to a more secure and sustainable future for all
WWFs metagoals 2020 & 2050
