Under the umbrella of the European Habitats Forum, an informal coalition of NGOs calls on the European Commission to adopt the EU 2030 Biodiversity Strategy and the Farm 2 Fork Strategy in May, without further delay.

“It is crucial that the EU maintains its high ambition to tackle the twin crises of biodiversity and climate change and to lead by example so that others follow, even in these difficult times. The 2030 EU Biodiversity Strategy and the Farm to Fork Strategy should de- facto be part of any recovery plan from the Commission and Member States.

We look to the European Commission to meet citizens’ expectations across Europe and to make
sure that the much needed protection and restoration of nature and the transition to sustainable agriculture and food systems both become central and guiding principles of the post-COVID 19 recovery process.”
