Ireland’s fourth National Biodiversity Action Plan (NBAP) was published on 25th of January, setting the biodiversity agenda for the 2023-2030 period.

The new NBAP is the first to be backed by legislation with legal requirements for public bodies, and seeks to respond to the Citizens’ Assembly on Biodiversity Loss. The five objectives of the plan include the adoption of a whole-of-government, whole-of-society approach; to meet urgent conservation and restoration needs; to secure nature’s contribution to people; to enhance the evidence base for biodiversity; and to strengthen Ireland’s contribution to international biodiversity initiatives.
