Book excerpt: The EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 sets out a truly ambitious and far-reaching programme of measures to halt and reverse biodiversity loss in the EU and across the globe. The challenge ahead is daunting and our ambition high, but it is actually not a matter of choice: halting biodiversity loss is a necessity for a stable future on this planet, and a socioeconomic imperative to deliver the European Green Deal. In preparing the EU Biodiversity Strategy we drew on a vast amount of scientific evidence on biodiversity loss, especially the landmark 2019 IPBES report, and evidence is growing by the day. The 2020 'State of Nature in the EU' report found that 81% of EU protected habitats and 63% of EU protected species are in "poor" or "bad" conservation status. Overall, Europe's protected habitats and species continue to decline at an alarming rate because the multiple pressures they face are simply too great to enable their recovery. Without decisive action, this continued loss will have massive economic repercussions. The latest studies confirm that over half of global GDP is dependent on high-functioning biodiversity and ecosystem services and that globally, one fifth of countries are at risk of their ecosystems collapsing, compromising food security, clean water and air, and flood protection. This is why the EU Biodiversity Strategy is now a central element of both the EU Green Deal and the EU Recovery Plan. Its ambitious targets for nature protection and restoration should lead to a better balance between nature and economic activities, contributing to a transformational change that will filter through to all parts of society, ensuring the health and prosperity of people and nature. We can make this happen if we take a whole-society approach, with action from all stakeholders across all sectors and at all levels. We are working to bring everyone on board to deliver the Biodiversity Strategy - land owners and land users, such as farmers, foresters, fishers; businesses and consumers; civil society organisations, and citizens across the EU. To this end, one important part of the Strategy focuses on strengthening the EU's biodiversity governance framework to make it as transparent and participatory as possible. Enabling also needs funding: we are using all tools at our disposal to unlock, as a minimum, EUR 20 billion/year for biodiversity through various sources, including all EU funds, national and private funding, supported by tools such as the Taxonomy, improved biodiversity tracking for EU funding, Invest EU, and much more besides. With the Biodiversity Strategy, the EU is leading the way. But the biodiversity crisis is a global crisis. That is why we will negotiate an ambitious global framework to protect biodiversity across the globe at the next Conference of Parties of the UN Biodiversity Convention in China. Working together with the Member States and the EU External Action Service, we will use the full diplomatic weight of the EU to lead the way for global action. We owe it to nature, to people and to future generations.

Book excerpt: The EU 2030 Biodiversity Strategy calls for greater efforts to restore freshwater ecosystems and the natural functions of rivers. Besides calling for better implementation of existing legislation on freshwater, the Biodiversity Strategy sets the target to make at least 25 000 km of rivers free-flowing again by 2030, by removing primarily obsolete barriers and restoring floodplains and wetlands. This document aims to support Member States and other actors involved in river restoration as they seek to achieve this target. The document seeks to clarify the terms and concepts of the target and its objectives, while recognising the need for such definitions to be translated into operational terms. It also provides general principles, and examples of existing approaches and methods that could be used to select and prioritise barriers that would need to be removed in order to reach the target of at least 25 000 km of free-flowing rivers in the EU. Finally, the document sets out an overview of the different EU funding mechanisms that could support river restoration projects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This initiative from the European Commission (EC) Knowledge Centre for Biodiversity (KCBD) was conducted in support of the EC Directorate-General for Research and Innovation. The aim was to explore EU-funded research projects over the last fifteen years (i.e., Framework Programmes FP7 and Horizon 2020) and to map their linkages first, with the policy priorities of the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and its four pillars, and second, with the cross-sectoral policy domain of Biodiversity and Health. The methodological workflow, easily replicable and accessible to non-expert users, alternates automated and manual processes. The research projects are described by their metadata as archived in the EC CORDIS database, they are analysed with the Tools for Innovation Monitoring (TIM) Open Access software developed by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission. First, a conditional search string consisting of keywords and logical operators is defined by the user to best qualify the topic and/or policy of interest. Second, a dataset was automatically created based on the projects extracted using the search string in TIM. Third, the dataset is finalised using expert judgement, particularly to exclude irrelevant projects. Then, the dataset is explored through three main lenses in TIM: general information with interactive list of projects and spatial and temporal trends, partnerships and collaboration axis, and thematic foci keywords that are automatically extracted by text mining and natural language processing algorithms.
Book Synopsis Deploying the European Green Deal by : Mar Campins Eritja
Download or read book Deploying the European Green Deal written by Mar Campins Eritja and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-02-29 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on a range of expert contributions, this book explores how the European Green Deal is being deployed in practice and observes how the EU tries to promote the protection of the environment in third countries. This book begins by assessing the state of the art in terms of the key conceptual issues and analyses sectoral initiatives that are particularly relevant for the deployment of the European Green Deal external dimensions. These include the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, the EU’s regulatory action in the control of maritime emissions, the 2030 Biodiversity Strategy, the Deforestation Initiative, the Zero Pollution Initiative, the From Farm to Fork Initiative, and the Climate Neutrality and Clean Energy Initiative in the context of the Energy Charter Treaty. Next, the authors deal with horizontal aspects of the European Green Deal that also have external dimensions, such as the Green Deal Diplomacy, the Green Public Procurement, funding measures, initiatives related to corporate sustainability and due diligence, and the implementation and enforcement of EU environmental law. This volume concludes with a cross-cutting analysis, focusing on how the EU can strengthen the impact of its normative power on international environmental governance, while also noting its limitations. Deploying the European Green Deal will be of great interest to students and scholars of international and EU environmental law and environmental policy and governance.

Book excerpt: This report provides information from a consultancy project carried out to assist the European Commission in its implementation of the Biodiversity Strategy for 2030. It evaluates the biodiversity expenditure tracking methodology used by the Commission for the 2014 to 2020 Multiannual Financial Framework, and, on the basis of those findings and in the light of changes to the structure of programmes, makes recommendations for tracking in the 2021-2027 period. It also offers suggestions on possible alternative methodologies, and on improving the consistency of EU Member State international reporting on biodiversity. The second part of the report then estimates the financing needs for delivery of the 41 objectives under the EU biodiversity strategy for 2030. Current levels of financial expenditure from the EU, from Member States public expenditure, and from private sources, are then estimated. Estimates of future expenditure from these sources for the period 2021-2030 are then developed, based on a combination of extrapolation and published budgetary plans. In a final step, these estimates are compared to the estimated financing needs, and an estimated average gap of EUR 18.69 billion a year is identified.
Book Synopsis Eu Biodiversity Law: Wild Birds and Habitats Directives by : Agustín García Ureta
Download or read book Eu Biodiversity Law: Wild Birds and Habitats Directives written by Agustín García Ureta and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-28 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The protection of biodiversity is one of the most important challenges of contemporary societies. Indeed, as scientists have noted, there is a clear decline in habitats and ecosystems and a rate of species disappearance that has not occurred until now. Climate change and the entry into a new era called "the Anthropocene" are already bringing deep changes in ecosystems, habitats, and species. The European Union (EU) adopted in 1979 the directive on the conservation of wild birds and in 1992 the directive on habitats reinforcing its commitment to protect these and different species of fauna and flora under the umbrella of the Natura 2000 network. The EU is also a Party to several international biodiversity conventions. These regulations have given rise to a significant number of judgments by the EU Court of Justice interpreting the strict obligations that fall on the authorities of the Member States. However, these rulings evince that the objectives to "halt" biodiversity decline or to bring nature "back into our lives" as now expressed in the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 still require further efforts to achieve them. This book provides a legally rigorous analysis of EU biodiver

Book Synopsis Attitudes of Europeans Towards Biodiversity by :

Book excerpt: Biodiversity is the unique web of life on Earth. We are part of it and depend on it for our survival and quality of life. Biodiversity and healthy ecosystems purify the water we drink and the air we breathe; they provide us with food, materials and medicines, maintain soil fertility, regulate the climate and protect us from extreme weather. Biodiversity and ecosystem services are being lost and degraded at rates unprecedented in human history. The loss of our natural capital undermines humanity's livelihoods and opportunities for sustainable development. It has been estimated that biodiversity loss costs the EU 3% of its GDP annually. In May 2011, the European Commission adopted an ambitious strategy to halt the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services in the EU by 2020, to restore them to the extent possible and to step up efforts to avert global biodiversity loss.^The implementation of the Birds and Habitats Directives, including Natura 2000, the European network of protected areas, is a core element of this strategy. The strategy also contributes to the implementation of the EU's international commitments under the Convention on Biological Diversity, and to the new global 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The European Commission is currently preparing a mid-term review of the implementation of the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020, to take stock of progress and identify gaps in implementation. An on-going Fitness Check of the Birds and Habitats Directives will provide a basis for reflection on how EU nature legislation can fully deliver its objectives.^Protecting and restoring biodiversity is a key aim for the EU, but what do Europeans think? This survey was designed to explore European citizens' awareness and views on: biodiversity and the importance of preserving it ; the seriousness and impact of biodiversity loss at individual, domestic, European and global levels ; the biggest threats to biodiversity ; what the EU should do to prevent the loss of biodiversity, both within the EU and globally ; the role of the Natura 2000 network and attitudes to developments that may damage these protected areas, and personal efforts to protect nature and biodiversity. This survey was carried out by TNS Opinion & Social network in the 28 Member States of the European Union between the 30th of May and 8th of June 2015. Some 27,718 respondents from different social and demographic groups were interviewed face-to-face at home in their mother tongue on behalf of the Directorate-General for Environment.^The methodology used is that of Eurobarometer surveys as carried out by the Directorate-General for Communication ("Strategy, Corporate Communication Actions and Eurobarometer" Unit). A technical note on the manner in which interviews were conducted by the Institutes within the TNS Opinion & Social network is appended as an annex to this report. Also included are the interview methods and confidence intervals.

Download or read book The State of Food and Agriculture 2021 written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2021-11-23 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the vulnerability of agrifood systems to shocks and stresses and led to increased global food insecurity and malnutrition. Action is needed to make agrifood systems more resilient, efficient, sustainable and inclusive. The State of Food and Agriculture 2021 presents country-level indicators of the resilience of agrifood systems. The indicators measure the robustness of primary production and food availability, as well as physical and economic access to food. They can thus help assess the capacity of national agrifood systems to absorb shocks and stresses, a key aspect of resilience. The report analyses the vulnerabilities of food supply chains and how rural households cope with risks and shocks. It discusses options to minimize trade-offs that building resilience may have with efficiency and inclusivity. The aim is to offer guidance on policies to enhance food supply chain resilience, support livelihoods in the agrifood system and, in the face of disruption, ensure sustainable access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to all.
Book Synopsis Nature Law and Policy in Europe by : Andrew L. R. Jackson
Download or read book Nature Law and Policy in Europe written by Andrew L. R. Jackson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-04-26 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume considers current and future challenges for nature law and policy in Europe. Following the Fitness Check evaluation of the Birds and Habitats Directives, in 2017 the EU adopted an Action Plan for nature, people and the economy to rapidly improve the Directives’ implementation and accelerate progress towards the EU's biodiversity targets for 2020. More recently, the EU has adopted a Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and proposed an EU Nature Restoration Law. This book makes a timely contribution by examining the current state of play in light of recent and historical developments, as well as the post-2020 nature law and policy landscape. While evidence suggests that Natura 2000 and the Habitats and Birds Directives have delivered conservation benefits for wildlife in Europe, biodiversity loss continues apace. The book reviews the requirements for an effective international nature conservation system, with reference to the Birds and Habitats Directives. It examines regulatory regimes, current legal issues in the fields of site protection and species protection, the protection of areas outside Natura 2000, recent developments in the EU and the UK, including the implications of Brexit, agriculture and nature conservation, litigation, science and access to justice. Written by leading experts in the field, from a range of stakeholder groups, the volume draws on diverse experiences as well as providing interdisciplinary perspectives. This volume will be essential reading for students, scholars, practitioners, NGOs and policy-makers interested in European environmental policy and law, including for example lawyers, ecologists, environmental scientists, political scientists, natural resource managers, planners and civil servants.
Book Synopsis Biodiversity and Nature-based Solutions by :
Download or read book Biodiversity and Nature-based Solutions written by and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 aims to secure healthy, resilient, biodiversity-rich ecosystems that deliver the range of services essential to the prosperity and well-being of citizens. Nature-based Solutions (NBS) - with healthy and biodiverse ecosystems at their core - are central to achieving the objectives of this strategy and sustainably tackling wider societal, economic and environmental challenges. This report presents findings from a review of over 30 EU-funded research and innovation projects conducted as part of the EC's Valorisation of NBS Projects Initiative. The aim was to determine the contribution of these projects to EU biodiversity, climate and other policy objectives as well as to sustainable transition processes. The report further highlights new approaches to support the development and management of biodiverse NBS and provides insights into governance models to deliver biodiversity benefits. On this basis, the document outlines remaining research gaps and policy recommendations to promote the mainstreaming and enhanced contribution of biodiverse NBS across biodiversity and other sectoral policies, not least to foster a sustainable societal transformation in Europe and beyond.
