Improving Biodiversity Governance - a policy event held on 17th November 2021

Improving Biodiversity Governance is a policy event held on 17th November 2021. It was organized by the Interreg Europe, project BioGov. The BIOGOV project aims to improve natural and cultural heritage policies through participatory governance. Hosted by MEP Hilde Vautmans, this policy event focused on lessons learned from project BIOGOV and recommendations for implementing the EU Green Deal.

Five key messages have been formulated in order to strengthen the EU biodiversity governance framework.

1. Biodiversity and Stakeholder win-win – Multistakeholder collaboration strengthens both green infrastructure and multifunctional landscapes
2. Result Based Schemes – provide tailormade solutions for biodiversity and ecosystem services goals
3. Independent landscape facilitators – regional policy organizations must invest in independent landscape facilitators
4. Ecological connectivity on different scales – ecological connectivity on various levels requires joint vision, strong coordination, conflict resolution and legal packages
5. Multisectoral funding – helps to achieve multifunctional goals
