Goals / Remit
$700 billion a year between now and 2030… According to the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), this is the finance gap we have to fill to start building “a world of living in harmony with nature where, by 2050, biodiversity is valued, conserved, restored and wisely used, maintaining ecosystem services, sustaining a healthy planet and delivering benefits essential for all people.”
Some urgent actions must in fact be implemented by 2030, including,
- Restore 30% of all Degraded Ecosystems (Target 2 of the GBF)
- Conserve 30% of Land, Waters and Seas (Target 3)
- Reduce Pollution to Levels That Are Not Harmful to Biodiversity (Target 7)
- Enhance Biodiversity and Sustainability in Agriculture, Aquaculture, Fisheries, and Forestry (Target 10).
Some of them have been included in the European regulation on nature restoration and the China National Biodiversity Conservation Strategy for instance.
Biodiversity/nature certificates/credits are today considered a promising tool t (...)Main EU files targeted

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
