The European Commission and the Belgian Biodiversity Platform are happy to invite you to the online-event “New Policies, New Practices”, launching the new EU Biodiversity governance.

A series of high-level talks will allow you to find out more about the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and the strengthening of the knowledge base for policy and decision-making through new monitoring and review mechanisms and related opportunities (research funding, science-based policy support, implementation, monitoring, governance).
