Press Briefing Close the EU biodiversity funding gap - 2025 06 26

https://fundnature.scientists4future.at Closing the Biodiversity Funding Gap: A Scientific Call for Action in the Next EU Budget is a collective appeal from scientists urging the European Commission and EU Member States to significantly increase dedicated biodiversity funding in the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF). With over 80% of EU habitats in poor condition and biodiversity loss threatening both nature and the economy, the current investment levels fall drastically short of what is needed to meet the EU's 2030 biodiversity targets and the goals of the European Green Deal. The letter highlights the success of programmes like LIFE and Cohesion Funds in restoring ecosystems and supporting our economy, while warning that without dedicated and well-structured financial support, the EU risks undermining its ecological and economic future. The call outlines seven key actions, including earmarked funding, national spending floors, performance-based investments, and strong safeguards, to ensure the next EU budget reverses biodiversity loss and secures a resilient, competitive, and sustainable Europe.
