Special Economic Zones (SEZs) are geographic areas supported through regulations that may be different to other areas. One SEZ, was seeking support in developing #environmental regulations & concepts promoting #circularity. 👉 Learn more how dss⁺ conducted a full environmental scoping, including benchmarking against international standards, drafting a strategic environmental vision & creating an environmental action plan. #circulareconomy https://lnkd.in/dfZP5Gf7

This initiative showcases the commitment of a leading #ElectronicsManufacturer, in collaboration with the #government, to establish an environmentally responsible #SpecialEconomicZone (SEZ). By engaging dss , they're not only aiming to meet #InternationalStandards but also pioneering new benchmarks for #CircularEconomy practices. It's a promising step towards sustainable #IndustrialGrowth.

NEW: The EU 8th #EnvironmentActionProgramme (EAP) builds on the European Green Deal and sets the framework for EU environmental policy until 2030. Published today, the European Environment Agency’s (EEA) first #monitoringreport on the Programme shows that the EU may not meet most of the monitoring targets outlined in the European Commission’s 8th EAP Monitoring Communication. Stronger implementation by the Member States of existing laws, additional measures, and mainstreaming #climateandenvironment in other policy domains are needed for faster progress.

The European Environment Agency (EEA) takes stock annually of progress towards the 8th #EnvironmentActionProgramme (8th EAP). • Will at least 30% of the EU's land be legally designated as terrestrial protected areas by 2030? Unlikely but uncertain. • Will at least 30% of the EU's sea areas be legally designated as marine protected areas by 2030? Unlikely but uncertain. • Will the decline in the population of common birds reverse by 2030? Unlikely but uncertain. • Will the degree of connectivity in forest ecosystems increase in the coming years? Unlikely but uncertain. Current trends suggest that key biodiversity targets may not be met by 2030. Addressing the high pressures from agriculture, fisheries, and urbanization requires additional efforts and considering the time lag between implementation and outcomes.

The #Europeanenvironmentagency has just released the first monitoring report on the 8th #EnvironmentActionProgramme. It is the first in a series informing citizens and policymakers on the progress towards the #EuropeanGreenDeal goals, on the basis of 28 indicators and monitoring targets. The report shows the need to accelerate the pace of the #greentransition, and gives the chance to policymakers to design the next phase of the Green Deal by improving the shortcomings highlighted in each area.

What can nature-based enterprises and professionals involved in the delivery of nature-based solutions do in order to ensure the below targets are met...? The European Environment Agency's first monitoring report on the EU's 8th Environmental Action Programme shows that all 4 of the #Biodiversity & #Ecosystem indicator targets are "unlikely but uncertain" to be met by 2030. "A key reasons is high pressure on land and sea use arising from socio-economic sectors such as agriculture, fisheries and urbanisation. To meet the targets, Member States must better implement existing legislation, take new measures to restore biodiversity and further mainstream biodiversity into other policies such as the common agricultural and fisheries policies." Note, the 4 indicators in question are: 🌄 Designated Terrestrial Protected Areas - 26% of 30% target achieved 🌅 Designated Marine Protected Areas - 12% of 30% target achieved 🐦 Common Bird Index, reverse the decline - CAP measures insufficient 🌳 Forest Connectivity, increase this - Started too late to have data by 2030
