This is a mandate to destroy every positive step the Biden Administration has taken to protect the environment and encourage clean energy production. The 30×30 initiative is a Biden Administration goal to protect 30% of the planet’s oceans, lands, and fresh waters by the year 2030. To date, more than 190 countries have committed to achieving the global goal.

“The world’s wild places are being lost, and along with them we are losing the natural systems that protect us from the consequences of climate change. Scientists agree that we must protect at least 30% of lands, fresh waters and oceans by 2030 to have any chance of stemming the dual crises of biodiversity loss and climate change facing our planet.

Currently, only about 17% of land and 8% of marine areas are currently under some form of protection. Even then, in many cases, the effectiveness of that protection is in doubt.”
