State of play and future steps for the EU Biodiversity Strategy (EU BDS) dashboard

Biodiversity

The EU Biodiversity Strategy (EU BDS) dashboard is publicly accessible through the website of the European Commission’s Knowledge Centre for Biodiversity (KCBD) under “Tools”.

  • Following the publication of six new indicators, the EU BDS dashboard currently contains 16 indicators to monitor progress on 8 out of the 16 EU BDS targets.

  • The EU BDS dashboard has also undergone technical updates to make it easier to navigate and maintain.

  • The two indicators selected following the last meeting of the EU Biodiversity Platform’s Monitoring and Assessment subgroup (EUBP-MA) are planned to be published by the end of 2024, as well as the two pesticide indicators previously proposed.

  • Two new indicators are proposed to be added in the EU BDS dashboard: EUBP-MA is invited to give its feedback on these proposed indicators.

  • The indicator developed to track progress on the EU BDS commitment to unlock at least € 20 billion/year for biodiversity is also presented and open to EUBP-MA feedback.
