The EU's Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 is an ambitious and comprehensive plan aimed at protecting nature and reversing ecosystem degradation. The strategy seeks to restore Europe's biodiversity by 2030, outlining specific actions and commitments across a range of policy areas. Key goals include expanding protected areas both on land and at sea, restoring damaged ecosystems, and promoting sustainable agricultural and forestry practices. It also focuses on reducing pollution, improving ecosystems' resilience to climate change, and integrating biodiversity considerations into public and corporate decision-making.

As part of the European Green Deal, the Biodiversity Strategy underscores the critical role of biodiversity in human well-being and economic prosperity. It introduces measures to unlock funding for biodiversity, enhance governance frameworks, and promote international cooperation in tackling global biodiversity challenges. Through this strategy, the EU aims to lead global efforts in conservation and secure a sustainable future for all.
