REPORT
Biodiversity on the brink
Biodiversity both inside and outside the European Union continues to decline each year. The EU aims to address this through its Biodiversity Strategy for 2030, which emphasises the role of financing in addressing the biodiversity crisis.
However, a number of significant barriers at the national level remain, preventing the successful uptake and efficient use of such financing. The financial allocations earmarked for nature restoration and conservation measures are too low, even though EU funding is available.
