Measures related to ecosystem services / biodiversity / land use / agriculture

As part of the Irish Government’s ‘July Stimulus Package’, an additional €1 million has been allocated for specific biodiversity measures and the National Parks & Wildlife Service (Science & Biodiversity) is examining a range of additional projects across its remit in the context of recovery and ongoing efforts to halt biodiversity loss; The Programme for Government outlines a number of measures and supports for biodiversity, across sectors, including linkages between the biodiversity crisis and the climate change crisis, and recognising the role of stakeholders including local communities, landowners and local authorities in meeting the challenges presented by these; the recently launched EU Biodiversity Strategy 2030 proposes far-reaching and ambitious targets to protect and restore nature and biodiversity across the EU. The Strategy will help frame measures to halt biodiversity loss in the context of recovery from the Covid-19 crisis and beyond across the EU 27. It will be an important element of the position of EU & its MS in negotiating a durable and effective post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework at the next meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity in 2021. In this, Ireland supports a strong and coherent EU position for nature.
