2020 headline target
Halting the loss of biodiversity and the degradation of ecosystem
services in the EU by 2020, and restoring them in so far as
feasible, while stepping up the EU contribution to averting global
biodiversity loss.

By 2020, ecosystems and their services are
maintained and enhanced
by establishing green infrastructure
and restoring at least 15% of degraded ecosystems
EU Biodiversity Strategy
TARGET 2
maintain and restore
ecosystems and their services

2020 Headline Target: no significant progress
• Overall, biodiversity loss and the degradation of ecosystem services in the EU have continued.
• While many local successes demonstrate that action on theground delivers positive outcomes, these examples need tobe scaled up to have a measurable impact on the overallnegative trends.

Target 2: insufficient progress
• Progress has been made on policy & knowledge improvementactions under this target, and some restoration activities havetaken place in MS.
• However, this has not yet halted the trend of degradation ofecosystems and services.
• National and regional frameworks to promote restoration andgreen infrastructure need to be developed and implemented.
