The conference discussed opportunities and challenges for the ambitious EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2030. The strategy, which was recently unveiled by the European Commission, sets a framework for Europe to meet global commitments under the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, and the Sustainable Development Goals.
Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), European Commission officials and relevant stakeholders provided their views on the EU’s 10-year plan to tackle the biodiversity crisis over the next decade.
The European Parliament, Council and Member States are expected to put in place consistent EU policies supporting the Commission in this ambitious and urgent programme.
