National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan 2030 unveiled

The National Biodiversity and Action Plan (NBSAP) for 2030 has been published, laying out a clear strategy to tackle biodiversity challenges and protect the environment.

 

Building on the success of the 2012–2020 plan, which exceeded its targets by 11%, it highlights key progress in areas like communication, land and marine protection, policy development, and the use of EU funds for major environmental projects.

 

Minister for the Environment, Miriam Dalli, said, “This plan is our commitment to safeguarding Malta’s natural heritage for future generations. Together, we can ensure a sustainable and biodiverse country,” adding that collaboration across government and society is essential to achieving these ambitious goals.

 

The NBSAP 2030 includes 22 targets and 79 actions aligned with global and EU biodiversity goals, covering everything from ecosystem restoration and genetic diversity to climate change and sustainable agriculture.

 

CEO of the Environment and Resources Authority Kevin Mercieca stated, “This strategy is a culmination of significant hard work and aims to continue on the success of the previous strategy. The work must now continue through collaboration with other entities to ensure that good results are achieved.”

 

More information on the NBSAP 2030 can be found on the ERA website.
