Ministerial Decree 252/2023

Adopted

Published

<p>In line with the objectives of the European Biodiversity Strategy to 2030 and the Ecological Transition Plan, it outlines a vision for the future and development centered on the need to reverse the current trend of biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse.On August 3, 2023, Ministerial Decree No. 252  was signed, adopting the new National Biodiversity Strategy to 2030 and establishing its governing bodies.There are 18 actions distributed across the eight areas of intervention, for instance:</p>
<ul>
<li>Legally protect at least 30% of the land area and 30% of the marine area through an integrated system of protected areas, the Natura 2000 network, and other legally protected areas.</li>
<li>Ensure that at least one-third of legally protected terrestrial and marine areas, including all primary and old-growth forests, are strictly protected.</li>
<li>Ensure the ecological and functional connectivity of protected areas at the local, national, and supranational levels.</li>
<li>Ensure adequate funding for protection</li>
<li>Ensure that for at least 30% of the species and habitats protected under the Birds and Habitats Directives whose conservation status is currently unsatisfactory, it becomes satisfactory by 2030 or shows a clear positive trend.</li>
<li>Ensure that all ecosystems do not deteriorate and that large areas of degraded ecosystems are restored, particularly those most suitable for capturing and storing carbon as well as for preventing and reducing the impact of natural disasters.</li>
<li>Achieve land degradation neutrality and zero net land-use change, and make significant progress in the remediation and restoration of degraded and contaminated land.</li>
</ul>

An aim to achieve a quantifiable outcome within a given time-frame, set by an institution such as a national government.

Policy instruments are techniques or tools used by governing authorities to promote certain policies in order to achieve predetermined goals. Put simply, instruments are how a government tries to achieve its goals, with this taxonomy being focused on national policy instruments.

Risk is the potential for adverse consequences resulting from the dynamic interplay between (climate-related) hazards, exposure, and vulnerability of affected human or ecological systems.

Groups  of people who are adversely affected by climate change or the response to it

A set of principles, processes, and practices that build economic and political power to shift from an extractive economy to a regenerative economy.

Renewable energy means all forms of energy produced from renewable sources in a sustainable manner.

Fossil fuel is a generic term for non-renewable energy sources such as coal, fossil gas, and oil (including crude oil, and petroleum products), that can be used for electricity and heat generation. Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons formed from pressurised and heated organic material buried over millions of years.

Molecules in the atmosphere that play a key role in the greenhouse effect by trapping heat radiating from Earth’s surface.

Area of the economy in which actors engage in identical or related activities.

In human systems, the process of adjustment to actual or expected climate change and its effects, in order to moderate harm, increase resilience or exploit beneficial opportunities. In natural systems, the process of adjustment to actual climate change and its effects; human intervention may facilitate adjustment to expected climate change and its effects.

The management and allocation of funds, assets and investments to meet various objectives

Compulsory, required payments to the government that are levied more-or-less in proportion to the services provided. Fees and charges range from entrance fees to national parks, charges on land-based sewage discharge.

the fair distribution of risks and opportunities of climate change and the transition to a regenerative economy, cognisant in particular of disproportionate impacts on vulnerable communities and the working class

Slow onset events evolve gradually from incremental changes over many years or from increased frequency or intensity of recurring events. As defined in the Cancun Adaptation Framework (2010), slow onset events include risks and impacts from rising temperatures, desertification, biodiversity loss, land and forest degradation, glacial retreat, ocean acidification, sea level rise, and salinization.
