| Description | Balancing Europe’s ambitious biodiversity restoration targets with growing demands for food, timber, bioenergy and carbon sequestration is one of the EU’s most complex policy challenges. A new scientific study concludes that this balance can be achieved, provided that good policy design, integrated spatial planning and flexible burden-sharing between Member States are put in place.
The findings are published in the peer-reviewed article Meeting European Union biodiversity targets under future land-use demands (2025) in Nature Ecology & Evolution and summarised through the Science for Environment Policy platform. |
