Proposal by EPBRS on a European Biodiversity Research Strategy 2010-2020
With the year 2010, the world and Europe will have to readjust their targets for safeguarding biodiversity- the 2010 targets of slowing down and even halting the biodiversity loss will not be met. The research community will have to strengthen its involvement in the next decade to approach the potential new targets. This involvement needs a strategic approach towards the main challenges and knowledge needs. The EPBRS proposal on a research strategy 2010 to 2020 for Europe tries to take up these challenges. When finished, the strategy will be communicated widely to policy makers, funding organisations and research institutions in the European Union and its member states.
In order to discuss these challenges as widely as possible, the EPBRS invites all interested experts and institutions to send their comments on this consultation paper which has been developed by a Working Group within EPBRS over the last 12 months and has been adopted for further consultation by the participants of the EPBRS meeting in Visby, Sweden, September 2009. Deadline for sending in comments: 30th of November, 2009.
