Restoring Ecosystems and Services in Europe: Strategies and Effectiveness

This review discusses the restoration of ecosystems and their services across Europe, examining the effectiveness of current strategies under EU directives. It highlights the need for compliance with the 2020 EU Biodiversity Strategy while exploring national implementations and action plans. Key topics include methods to measure restoration, utilize existing datasets, and assess urban, agricultural, and forest ecosystems. Case studies from Austria and Sweden illustrate successful strategies. Understanding and identifying priority ecosystems are essential for achieving the EU's biodiversity targets.

  1. Break out discussion Topic 1 Restoringecosystems and their services

  2. atEuropeanlevel • ETC/BD: Review on ecosystemrestoration and itseffectiveness in Europe. 2012 • DG ENV contract: Implementationof 2020 EU BiodiversityStrategy: Prioritiesfor the restorationecosystemsand their services in the EU (2013)

  3. Situation at national level • At the verybeginning: how to bring the target do wecomply to thistarget? how to organise ourselves? • Decision to rely on EU Nature directives and on the Natura 2000 network + ??, Use existing action plans atregionallevel • Tools approach: mappingecosystems and their services, redlist of ecosystems,

  4. Questions • Definition of restoration, • How to measure (quantitative/qualitative) ? • Existingdatasets/indicators not targeted on restoration • See how wecanrely on EU directives reporting (HBD, WFD, MFSD, ELD) but how to consider more commonecosystems (urban, agri, forests)?

  5. Whatkind of messages are relevant for the SOER2015? • Big challenge to quantify and assess the 15% target • EU directives reporting should help • Need to define/identify priority ecosystems: ecosystems providing specific ESS, • Key roles of land use/land cover,… • Several actions contribute to restoration => implementation information (see CBD Mid term Review reports)

  6. How countries can support EEA? Potential case-studies: • Example of Austrian maps of several ecosystems, • Example of implementation in Sweden: SE regions working on GI, good examples,… • Denmark suggested to use some SEBI indicatorsto support Target 2
