Dear Colleagues,



The Commission has launched an online public consultation on the
development of three important and inter-connected EU biodiversity policy
initiatives:



1.       *Development of legally binding EU nature restoration targets. *As
a key element of the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and the European
Green Deal, restoring Europe’s damaged ecosystems will help to increase
biodiversity, mitigate and adapt to climate change, and prevent and reduce
the impacts of natural disasters. The Commission will put forward a
proposal for legally binding EU nature restoration targets by the end of
2021. Public and stakeholder views and insights will contribute to the
impact assessment.



2.       *The evaluation of the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020
(2011-2020)*. The Biodiversity Strategy to 2020 set the EU biodiversity
policy framework for the period 2011-2020. This Strategy is currently
undergoing an evaluation, looking into its effectiveness, efficiency,
coherence with other policies, relevance and EU added value. Lessons learnt
from the evaluation of the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020 will be
considered in the implementation of the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030,
in order to improve the design and delivery of key actions – including the
proposal for binding EU restoration targets.



3.       *The review of the application of the EU Regulation on Invasive
Alien Species*. The EU Regulation on Invasive Alien Species was adopted in
implementation of Target 5 of the 2020 Biodiversity Strategy. The review of
its application will provide insights for improving its implementation, as
well as for the evaluation of Target 5.



The surveys on the three initiatives are published in one common
questionnaire, accessible from both links below. Respondents can choose to
answer one or all of these surveys, by selecting the relevant tabs. These
consultations are open over the period 11 January 2021 - 05 April 2021.
