To achieve the goals of the 2030 Global Biodiversity Framework, the European Biodiversity Strategy, and the EU Green Deal, biodiversity monitoring is critical. Monitoring efforts in Europe, however, suffer from gaps and biases in taxonomy, spatial coverage, and temporal resolution, resulting in fragmented and disconnected data. To assess user and policy needs in biodiversity monitoring, we employed a four‐step user‐centered stakeholder engagement process with over 300 stakeholders including a public stakeholder workshop, online survey, interviews, and a meeting with experts from 18 EU member states, the European Commission, and the European Environment Agency. The stakeholders identified policy needs, current challenges, and potential solutions. Based on the policy and stakeholder assessment, we recommend establishing a European Biodiversity Observation Coordinating Centre to optimize existing observation efforts, harmonize data, and enhance our ability to predict and respond to key challenges related to biodiversity loss in Europe.

欧洲生物多样性监测：用户和政策需求


为了实现2030年全球生物多样性框架、欧洲生物多样性战略和欧盟绿色新政的目标，生物多样性监测至关重要。然而，欧洲的监测工作在分类、空间覆盖和时间分辨率方面存在差距和偏差，导致数据支离破碎、互不相关。为了评估生物多样性监测中的用户和政策需求，我们采用了一个四步的以用户为中心的利益相关者参与流程，涉及 300 多个利益相关者，包括公共利益相关者研讨会、在线调查、访谈以及与来自 18 个欧盟成员国、欧洲委员会的专家举行的会议。委员会和欧洲环境署。利益相关者确定了政策需求、当前挑战和潜在的解决方案。根据政策和利益相关者评估，我们建议建立欧洲生物多样性观测协调中心，以优化现有观测工作，协调数据，并增强我们预测和应对欧洲生物多样性丧失相关关键挑战的能力。
