Q1Framework UsedFramework used to explain or to categorize the relationship between the socioecological system (e.g. Pst-2020 Global Biodiversity or DPSIR Framework)Aichi Biodiversity TargetsThe Aichi Biodiversity Targets are 20 goals set in 2011 to reduce biodiversity loss. The targets were created by the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).
