Biodiversity policy mismatches and overlaps with recommendations on how to foster cross sectoral dialogue for transformative Science Service

This document is a deliverable of the BioAgora project, funded under the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101059438. The deliverable performs an analysis of policy coherence at EU-level, focusing on the identification of mismatches and overlaps in policies within key sectors that impact biodiversity, namely: climate and energy, agriculture, and forestry. The analysis highlights areas where current policies either lack alignment, or actually conflict, potentially undermining biodiversity conservation efforts. By identifying these policy inconsistencies, this report seeks to offer actionable recommendations that can foster cross-sectoral dialogue.
