From 24 June to 24 September 2024 inclusive, you will be able to give your opinion on the draft update of Belgium’s national biodiversity strategy until 2030. The FPS Public Health, Food Chain Safety and Environment will thus be able to take it into account when finalising the strategy.

As part of the Convention on Biological Diversity, Belgium has committed to revising its national biodiversity strategy until 2030. This update aims to align the Belgian objectives with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and the European Biodiversity Strategy for 2030.

The strategy includes 15 strategic objectives and numerous operational objectives, covering a wide range of measures addressing the main causes of biodiversity loss, restoring degraded ecosystems, integrating biodiversity into society as a whole, etc.

The current national biodiversity strategy (2013-2020) is available via this link.
