Programme
In this webinar, participants learned about the outputs of the NaturaConnect prioritisation work, highlighting those areas that can be considered ‘Safe-bet’ regions for exploring the implementation of the European Biodiversity targets.
We explored some of the key outputs from the NaturaConnect project and provided participants with the opportunity:
- to provide spatial-explicit feedback on the results,
- make recommendations for further improvement based on regional and domain knowledge,
- discuss how these results might be relevant for other projects, implementation and their own interests.
Key topics discussed included:
- Setting the scene and highlighting updates from the first webinar*.
- Open questions and feedback on general methods and scope
- Spatial-explicit exploration of the outputs in targeted breakout groups.
- Breakout groups will focus, among others, on:
- Transboundary protection | Strict protection | Restoration | Connectivity & Sectoral risks
- Reporting back from each Breakout group and discussion, including common issues or feedback identified.
- Next Steps and Outlook for 2026.
