The first offers a strategic framework for further supporting the deployment of EU-level green and blue infrastructure in order to encourage a more strategic and integrated approach to scaling-up investments in EU-level GI projects. The aim is to improve the connectivity of Natura 2000 areas while also increasing the range and flow of multiple ecosystem services.

The second guidance document focuses on integrating ecosystems and their services in decision making. This is complemented by an overview and progress report on Natura Capital Accounting in the EU and a Commission Staff Working Document which provides additional information on the review of implementation of the EU green infrastructure strategy.
