| Abstract |
- Biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse are
considered essential threats to our well-being both in Europe and
worldwide. The EU Biodiversity Strategy 2030 was launched in May 2020,
and it was reviewed by the Commission in 2024, assessing progress and
identifying implementation gaps. To avoid the failure of yet another
very ambitious Biodiversity Strategy, it is key to understand the
obstacles and challenges which contribute to limiting actual
implementation.
- This study includes an evidence-based analysis
leading to categorization of challenges and indicating the interlinkages
between them. Based on an exploratory and a targeted literature review,
semi-structured expert interviews, and expert consultations we
identified and analysed eight strongly interlinked challenge categories:
accessibility of knowledge, engagement, funding, sectoral policy
coherence, management effectiveness, systematic spatial planning,
vertical policy implementation, and current political and economic
structures.
- We found that challenges stemming from path-dependent
institutional processes and the broader socio-political context can
significantly constrain the availability of straightforward solutions.
Political short-termism, the influence of the subsidiarity principle on
effective EU law enforcement in Member States, and the prioritisation of
economic growth over environmental considerations are among the key
challenges arising from political and economic structures.
- The category of ‘knowledge accessibility’ appeared
central, creating a notable opportunity for science–policy interfaces to
positively impact several other challenge categories.
- Policy implications. Facilitating interactions
between science and biodiversity policy could potentially impact the
underlying causes of implementation failures. However, this influence
can only be achieved by transcending mere knowledge synthesis and
actively engaging in constructive critique, fostering capacity
development and collaborative learning.
