The EU 2020 Biodiversity Strategy has been adopted by the European Commission to halt the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services in the European Union (EU) by 2020. There are six main targets, and 20 actions to help Europe reach its goal. Biodiversity loss is an enormous challenge in the EU, with around one in four species currently threatened with extinction and 88% of fish stocks over-exploited or significantly depleted.
| Objective | Halting the loss of biodiversity and the degradation of ecosystem services in the EU by 2020, and restoring them in so far as feasible, while stepping up the EU contribution to averting global biodiversity loss |
| Target |
|
| Policy and/or legal framework | United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) |
| Monitoring, assessing and reporting | The EU 2010 biodiversity baseline, the EU biodiversity indicators, Shared Environmental Information System and Global Monitoring for Environment and
Security, the European Forest Data Centre and the LUCAS Land Use Cover Area Frame Survey |
| Linkage(s) to policy processes, instruments and institutions | Birds Directive, CAP, CBD, CITES, Habitats Directive, WFD |
| Keywords | Biodiversity loss, biodiversity policy, sustainable forestry, threatened species/habitats, European Union |
| FOREST EUROPE criteria | FOREST EUROPE indicators | ToSIA indicators |
| Biodiversity | Threatened forest species, protected forests | Forest biodiversity |
