European co-funded Partnership on Biodiversity
BiodivERsA, the DG Environment and the DG Research & Innovation of the European Commission are strongly engaged to set-up a European co-funded Partnership focussed on Rescuing biodiversity to safeguard life on Earth. Acting as an overarching platform and connecting national/local and European Research & Innovation programs this Partnership will be an ambitious instrument.
Five overarching objectives were identified for this Partnership:
1 - improve monitoring of biodiversity and ecosystem services across Europe
2 - generate science-based, actionable knowledge to tackle the biodiversity crisis and the drivers of biodiversity loss
3 - reinforce the evidence base for the development, deployment and assessment of tools such as Nature-based solutions
4 - make the business case for biodiversity
5 - ensure efficient science-based support for biodiversity policy making in Europe.
To meet these objectives, the Partnership will implement a broad range of activities, divided into 4 working areas plus 2 transversal working areas (see Executive Summary).
It will gather Research Ministries, Environment Ministries, Research Funding Organisations and Foundations and Environmental Protection Agencies which will contribute to create a relevant and strong Partnership.
Engaging with a broad range of stakeholders will also be a priority for the Partnership. Stakeholders will participate to its governance through an Advisory board and an enlarged stakeholder board and contribute, together with the full members of the Partnership, to the development of the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA). This clear and transparent process will also be fed by the results of an open consultation that will soon be launched. This will ensure a wide range of views in the field of biodiversity, Nature-based solutions and ecosystem services to be covered.
