Biodiversity 2006 Communication and Action Plan
Communication from the Commission
The 2006 Biodiversity Communication and its detailed Action Plan set out a
detailed agenda for action to halt the loss of biodiversity by 2010. It
proposes 10 priority objectives addressing most important habitats and
species; actions in the wider countryside and marine environment;
making regional development more compatible with nature; reducing
impacts of invasive alien species; effective international governance;
support to biodiversity in international development; reducing negative
impacts of international trade; adaptation to climate change; and
strengthening the knowledge base. The Communication also recognises the
need for four supporting measures relating to adequate financing,
strengthening EU decision-making, building partnerships and promoting
public education, awareness and participation.
