CIBioGo: Citizen Participation in Biodiversity Governance

The urgency of boosting participation in biodiversity governance has increased recently in the context of the published EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and its “30x30” target. 

Safeguarding protected areas, strengthening ecosystem services and facilitating environmentally-friendly territorial development strategies require effective involvement and cooperation of stakeholders and citizens for the protection of biodiversity.

6 PPs + 1 APA representing 6 EU regions seek to implement effective tools and innovative methods of participatory governance of biodiversity in their regional and local policy instruments.

Supported by the AP with extensive experience in organizing and moderating public engagement processes, regional PPs embark in an interregional learning process towards improving their policy instruments for the collaborative and sustainable management of biodiversity and ecosystem services.
