The European Biodiversity Partnership
The Biodiversa+ Partnership is an integral tool of the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030, which aims to coordinate research programs between the EU, its member states and associated countries, with the aim of fueling the formulation of transformative policies and responding to societal challenges. related to Biodiversity loss and habitat degradation. Biodiversa+ is a public-public Partnership, co-funded by the Horizon Europe, with an overall budget of 800 million €, to be implemented over 7 years and 6 joint calls.
Biodiversa+ gathers 74 funding agencies, environmental authorities, ministries of environment, science and research, as well as environmental protection agencies from 36 European and associated countries, joining efforts and financial resources to transpose the guidelines and targets set by the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 into their territories, in a harmonized manner.
The Regional Government of the Azores, through the Regional Fund for Science and Technology (FRCT), integrates Biodiversa+ consortium with two main roles:
The participation of the FRCT in this Partnership facilitates the implementation of the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 in the Autonomous Region of the Azores (RAA), through the transmission and sharing of information, tools and evidence to the regional entities responsible for monitoring and reporting biodiversity in the regional context, promoting continuous collaboration at different levels and scales. By financing regional teams in research and innovation (R&I) projects, within the scope of Biodiversa+ calls, FRCT intends to consolidate the scientific and technological potential of the Azores and promoting transregional and international synergies leveraging the Azores potential, attracting external and reinforcing the economic axis based on R&I.
Within the Partnership Activity 2 – Promote and support transnational biodiversity monitoring, FRCT implements a Biodiversity Monitoring Pilot in the Azores, to address priority topics related with species invasive alien species monitoring, soil biodiversity, biodiversity governance, data interoperability and standards. The Pilot implementation of the in the RAA is supported by the Regional Secretariat for the Environment and Climate Change, through direct collaboration with the Regional Directorate for the Environment and Climate Change.
