Nature Action Plan

Following a thorough evaluation of the Birds and Habitats Directives, the European Commission adopted the Action Plan for nature, people and the economy in April to improve their implementation and boost their contribution towards reaching the EU's biodiversity targets for 2020.

date:  10/07/2017

The Action Plan focuses on four priority areas and comprises 15 actions to be carried out between now and 2019. The Plan is complemented by detailed factsheets providing more information on each of the 15 actions. Measures will be taken at EU level, but Member States and stakeholders will also need to act, with increased support and assistance from the European Commission. Further information is available on the commission website.
