Project contribution to policies and/or society

BIOCONSENT will inform the European Green Deal, the new EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2030, the new EU Forest Strategy to 2030, the EU Habitats Directive and the EU Water Framework Directive, and related forest biodiversity conservation and restoration policies at the national and regional level in Europe.

An inter- and transdisciplinary approach will ensure participation from concerned parties and organisations across EU and (sub-)national decision-makers in policy and practice that can help maintain and restore forest biodiversity while reducing climate change, improving water quality and safeguarding a sustainable and multifunctional use of forests.
