SUMMARY:Science for Post 2020 Environmental Targets: Insights from Earth Observation of Protected Areas
DESCRIPTION: \nThursday 27 September 2018\n9:00 – 11: 00 CET\nPHS 1C047, European Parliament, Brussels\n \nHosted by MEP Ricardo Serrão Santos and MEP Sirpa Pietikäinen\n \nNew generations of satellites and scientific developments are opening vast opportunities for monitoring and understanding nature and biodiversity. As we approach 2020 when strategies such as the EU Biodiversity Strategy end, it is necessary to prepare the EU’s future policy framework, in which science should play an important role. Some challenges in preserving biodiversity and achieving policy targets could be mitigated through further use of Earth Observation. This event will highlight findings of the ECOPOTENTIAL project ( http://www.ecopotential-project.eu/ ), which supports the use of Earth Observation in Protected Areas across Europe, and present perspectives on future biodiversity frameworks and targets.\nIn 2011, the EU committed to “halting the loss of biodiversity by 2020, and restore it insofar as possible”. The EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020 was adopted, aiming to set the EU on the right track to meet this objective. Although the EU has advanced in some areas since 2010 –e.g. with the approval of the Regulation on Invasive Alien Species– there is still a lot to do, especially to enhance implementation of existing legislation and integration of biodiversity concerns into relevant EU policies. Actually, the mid-term review of this EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020 signals that it will most likely be impossible to achieve the 2020 targets. As the EU aims to be “a leading proponent of international action on environment”, it can be expected it will show a high level of ambition for the discussions of the post 2020 biodiversity targets globally. As we approach 2020, it becomes urgent to prepare the EU’s future policy framework, where science and Earth Observation should play an important role.\nThe ECOPOTENTIAL (www.ecopotential-project.eu ( http://www.ecopotential-project.eu/ )) project has received funding from the European Union research and innovation programme under grant agreement N 641762.\n																										\nDocuments of the meeting\nDraft Agenda ( https://ebcd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Draft-agenda-Science-for-Post-2020-Environmental-Targets_27-September-2.pdf )\nList of Participants ( https://ebcd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/201800913-Science-for-post2020-Registrations.pdf )\nFinal Report ( https://ebcd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Draft-Report-Science-for-Post-2020-Environmental-Targets-Insights-from-Earth-Observation-of-Protected-Areas.pdf )\nPresentations\nAndrea Tilche – European Commission ( https://ebcd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Presentation-Science-for-Post-2020-Environmental-Targets-Tilche.pdf )\nAlberto Arroyo Schnell – IUCN ( https://ebcd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/ICUN_MTR-Future-Programme.pdf )\nFiona Danks – UNEP ( https://ebcd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Ecopotential-SciPolBrief-Sept2018_v2-Fiona.pdf )\nAntonello Provenzale – ECOPOTENTIAL-pt1 ( https://ebcd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Provenzale_ECOPOTENTIAL_Brussels_27.09.18_new.pdf )\nAntonello Provenzale – ECOPOTENTIAL-pt2 ( https://ebcd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Provenzale_ECOPOTENTIAL_Brussels_27.09.18_part-2.pdf )\nJRC – Gregoire Dubois DOPA ( https://ebcd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/JRC_Gregoire-Dubois-DOPA_Brussels-ilovepdf-compressed.pdf )\n
