Germany has adopted its National Biodiversity Strategy 2030 (NBS 2030) in December 2024. As the German NBSAP, it contributes to the implementation of the goals set out in the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) and the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030. The NBS 2030 comprises 21 key action areas for conserving, restoring and sustainably using biodiversity in Germany and around the world. A total of 64 specified targets establish clear objectives to be attained by 2030. The NBS 2030 is accompanied by two consecutive action plans containing concrete measures for the various targets and action areas of the strategy. The first action plan, which covers the period from 2024 to 2027, was published alongside the NBS 2030. An assessment of the progress achieved by 2027 will inform the 2030 targets for the second action plan and will be used to adjust measures where necessary and possible.
