European Union's Biodiversity Strategy for 2030

The new Biodiversity Strategy tackles the key drivers of biodiversity loss, such as unsustainable use of land and sea, overexploitation of natural resources, pollution, and invasive alien species. It also aims to make biodiversity considerations an integral part of EU's overall economic growth strategy. The actions foreseen in nature protection, sustainable use and restoration will bring economic benefits to local communities, creating sustainable jobs and growth. 

Improving the condition and diversity of agroecosystems will increase the sector’s resilience to climate change, environmental risks and socioeconomic shocks, while creating new jobs, for example in organic farming, rural tourism or recreation. Agroecology can provide healthy food while maintaining productivity, increase soil fertility and biodiversity, and reduce the footprint of food production.

Existing Natura 2000 areas will be complemented with nationally protected areas, ensuring strict protection for zones of very high biodiversity and climate value. In terms of funding, EUR 20 billion/year will be unlocked for biodiversity through various sources, including EU funds, national and private funding.

The Biodiversity Strategy will have 3 stages: protection, restoration and enforcement.

  • Protection - Ensure that the remaining forest and pollinators are protected, by reducing pollution, pesticide use and supporting farmers to shift to agroecological and organic practices.
  • Restoration - Restore damaged ecosystems and rivers, improve the health of EU protected habitats and species, and for transforming at least 30% of Europe's lands and seas into effectively managed protected areas and bringing back at least 10% of agricultural area under high-diversity landscape features.
  • Enforcement - The targets set will be legally binding as they have been assessed to be realistic and work in practice.
