Biodiversity – indicative measures
Cyprus is in the process of preparing its Biodiversity Strategy for 2030. Ambitious targets are formed taking into consideration the preparations for the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework and the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and will be finalized after the adoption of these Strategies.
The EU Biodiversity Strategy sets ambitious commitments which Cyprus generally supports. For example, the commitment for 30% of land area under protection is an achievable target but the commitment for 30% of sea area under protection is very ambitious and would require significant resources to be achieved.
Cyprus supports the commitments for nature protection and restoration, improving the condition of agroecosystems, maintaining soil fertility, increasing the quantity, quality and resilience of forests, biodiversity-friendly sustainable energy generation, restoring and protecting marine ecosystems, achieving good status for all surface waters, greening urban areas, reducing pollution, addressing invasive alien species and integrating biodiversity into education.
