Support biodiversity-inclusive spatial planning, notably as regards marine and coastal areas, cities and for fostering nature-based solutions and for achieving no-net land take by 2050.

Accelerate the deployment of a sustainable and circular European bioeconomy and ensure that any taking in the wild of specimens of listed species of wild fauna and flora as well as their exploitation is compatible with their being maintained at a favourable conservation status and that the hunting of birds complies with the principles of wise use and ecologically balanced control of the species concerned.

Restore, maintain and enhance ecosystem services in the EU, notably pollination and other regulating ecosystem services.

Reduce by 2050 air, water and soil pollution to levels no longer considered harmful to health and natural ecosystems and that respect the boundaries our planet can cope with, thus creating a toxic-free environment, including through reducing by 50% the sale of antimicrobials for farmed animals and in aquaculture, phase out mercury, reduce emissions of air pollutants and set environmental quality standards for priority hazardous substances in water.

Protecting and improving the health of existing natural and managed forests, especially primary forests and old-growth forests, while significantly increasing sustainable, biodiverse forest coverage worldwide.

Foster Member States and stakeholders to implement urgent species management actions, including by setting out the legislative framework for achieving biodiversity outcomes.

Legally protect a minimum of 30% of the EU’s land area and a minimum of 30% of the EU’s sea area, and integrate ecological corridors, as part of a true Trans-European Nature Network; strictly protect at least a third of the EU’s protected areas, including all remaining EU primary and old-growth forests; and effectively manage all protected areas.

Improve urban biodiversity and foster investment in green and blue infrastructure and, notably, ensure no net loss of urban green space, and of urban tree canopy cover by 2030 and achieve an increasing trend thereafter.

Compliance with international o bligations on access and benefit sharing on genetic resources and traditional knowledge associated with it, in particular by ensuring EU users’ compliance with ABS requirements and measures, in order to facilitate benefit sharing.

Systematically assess the economic, social and environmental impact of EU policy initiatives, including biodiversity, applying the Do-No-Significant-Harm and Polluter Pays Principles and fostering ‘Do Good’ and ensure strategic environmental assessments and environmental impact assessments are undertaken for all relevant decisions concerning plans, programmes and projects.

Ensure the full integration of biodiversity and its multiple values into national accounting.

Strengthen corporate sustainability reporting requirements through the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation, including through mandatary disclosure requirements.

Enhance the regulatory framework around the information provided to consumers, to enable them to make informed choices, promoting circular and sustainable consumption.

Require users of genetic resources or traditional knowledge falling under the scope of the Nagoya Protocol to submit a due diligence declaration proving their compliance to applicable ABS measures to the Competent Authority of the Member State where utilisation takes place.

Ensure long-term sustainability for fisheries based on clear objectives for the sustainable management of fish stocks (e.g. maximum sustainable yield), the availability of food supplies and a fair standard of living for fisheries communities.

Advance towards keeping the EU’s resource, material and product consumption within planetary boundaries by promoting more sustainable and circular consumption choices and strive to accelerate the transition towards a regenerative growth model that gives back to the planet more than it takes to reduce the EU’s consumption footprint.

Reduce food waste per capita by 30 percent by 2025 and by 50 percent by 2030, including through legally binding targets to reduce the generation of food waste per capita, jointly in retail and other distribution of food, in restaurants and food services and in households, by 30% by 2030.

Improve the environmental sustainability of products and promote the transition to a circular economy, hereby significantly reducing waste generation.

Protect human and animal health and the environment by introducing a safety assessment of the highest possible standards at EU level before any genetically modified organism (GMO) is placed on the market.

Identify biodiversity harmful incentives (including subsidies).

Restore degraded ecosystems throughout the EU, notably through putting in place effective and area-based restoration measures that cover, by 2030, at least 20% of the EU’s land and 20% of EU’s sea areas and, by 2050, all ecosystems in need of restoration, thereby, inter alia, by 2030, improving to good condition 30% of identified habitat types that are not in good condition.

Ensure that the trade in wildlife to and from the EU is legal and does not threaten the survival of the species.

Prevent, minimise and mitigate the adverse impact on biodiversity of the introduction and spread of IAS within the Union and reduce by 50% the number of Red List species threatened by invasive alien species.

By 2030, reduce by 50% nutrient losses from agriculture while ensuring that there is no deterioration in soil fertility and reduce by 25% the EU ecosystems where air pollution threatens biodiversity.

By 2030, reduce the overall use and risk of chemical pesticides by 50% and the use of more hazardous pesticides by 50%.
