Description du projet
Un cadre européen pour surveiller la biodiversité
La perte de biodiversité a de graves répercussions sur les services écosystémiques et sur l’homme. Plusieurs politiques et initiatives de l’UE visent à créer des données objectives, intégrées et mises à jour en permanence sur la biodiversité et les services écosystémiques. L’observation de la biodiversité est toutefois limitée par une série de manquements. Le projet EuropaBON, financé par l’UE, permettra de concevoir une nouvelle structure pour la surveillance de la biodiversité et des services écosystémiques. Il modélisera les variables essentielles pour intégrer différents flux de rapports, sources de données et stratégies de surveillance. Les partenaires du projet fourniront de solides connaissances sur les dimensions du changement de la biodiversité dans l’espace et le temps afin de soutenir la prise de décision. En s’appuyant sur l’engagement des parties prenantes et l’échange de connaissances, EuropaBON évaluera les efforts de surveillance existants, identifiera les besoins des utilisateurs et des politiques, et étudiera la faisabilité d’un centre européen de coordination des opérations de surveillance.
Objectif
Observations are key to understand the drivers of biodiversity loss, and the impacts on ecosystem services and ultimately on people. Many EU policies and initiatives demand unbiased, integrated and regularly updated biodiversity and ecosystem service data. However, efforts to monitor biodiversity are spatially and temporally fragmented, taxonomically biased, and lack integration in Europe. EuropaBON aims to bridge this gap by designing an EU-wide framework for monitoring biodiversity and ecosystem services. EuropaBON harnesses the power of modelling essential variables to integrate different reporting streams, data sources, and monitoring schemes. These essential variables provide consistent knowledge about multiple dimensions of biodiversity change across space and time. They can then be analyzed and synthesized to support decision-making at different spatial scales, from the sub-national to the European scale, through the production of indicators and scenarios. To develop essential biodiversity and ecosystem variables workflows that are policy relevant, EuropaBON is built around stakeholder engagement and knowledge exchange (WP2). EuropaBON will work with stakeholders to identify user and policy needs for biodiversity monitoring and investigate the feasibility of setting up a center to coordinate monitoring activities across Europe (WP2). Together with stakeholders, EuropaBON will assess current monitoring efforts to identify gaps, data and workflow bottlenecks, and analyse cost-effectiveness of different schemes (WP3). This will be used to co-design improved monitoring schemes using novel technologies to become more representative temporally, spatially and taxonomically, delivering multiple benefits to users and society (WP4). Finally, EuropaBON will demonstrate in a set of showcases how workflows tailored to the Birds Directive, Habitats Directive, Water Framework Directive, Climate and Restoration Policy, and the Bioeconomy Strategy, can be implemented (WP5).
