Bethan Christine O'Leary,Marit Winther-Janson,John Bainbridge,Jemma Aitken,Julie P. Hawkins,Callum M. Roberts +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the UN's globally adopted Convention on Biological Diversity coverage target for marine protected areas (MPAs) is ≥10% by 2020, and the World Parks Congress recommended increasing this to ≥30%.

TL;DR: Progress in integrating climate change adaptation into MPA design and management is reviewed and eight recommendations to expedite this process are provided and climate-smart management objectives should become the default for all protected areas, and made into an explicit international policy target.
