“State of knowledge regarding how we can improve adherence to the Mitigation Hierarchy, with a particular focus on the avoid stage.”
–New report out-
We are glad to release the final evidence report from the Eklipse Expert Working Group (EWG) working on the Mitigation Hierarchy. This report results from a request to Eklipse by the French Biodiversity Agency (OFB). Based on two approaches, systematic mapping and an Applied Policy Delphi, the EWG synthesised knowledge on how ecosystem services/natural capital as concepts foster the conservation and enhancement of Biodiversity within planning processes in sectors likely to directly impact Biodiversity. The report also provides information about EU-wide cases and practices that actively considered and addressed the aspect of ecosystem services in the Mitigation Hierarchy. As a final step, the EWG developed recommendations on best practices.
