dc.description.abstract | As the world’s biodiversity continues to decline, the need for a system’s change is bigger than
ever. Strong and effective policies and governmental frameworks are required to facilitate this process
and ensure nature conservation. Unfortunately, past experiences show that policymaking can be prone
to implementation gaps. A common missing link in meeting targets and commitments is the inclusion
of important sectors, such as the built environment. With the rise of different biodiversity enhancing
strategies for buildings, the contribution of the built environment towards nature conservation holds
great potential. In this review, we assess commitments within the European Union Biodiversity Strategy
for 2030 and derived policies in the Netherlands for their acknowledgement of this potential, and
identify missing links and implementation gaps. According to our analysis, the Biodiversity Strategy for
2030 promotes these strategies sufficiently, but some missing links exist in Dutch polies and legislation.
On the upside, we also discovered many action plans, initiatives and strategies in play that allow a
promising future for biodiversity. | |

dc.subject | The EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 contains ambitious goals and targets for nature protection and restoration, and aims to make up for missed targets set by the Strategy for 2020. Simulteanously, we have seen a rise in nature restoration designs for buildings, such as nature-based solutions. In this writing assignment, I assessed the acknowledgement of this contribution by the EU as well as by derived policies in the Netherlands. | |
