Impact assessment study to support the development of legally binding EU nature restoration targets
Final report. Annex 3, Ecosystem specific assessments
Publication metadata
This report was prepared for the European Commission DG Environment by a consortium consisting of Trinomics (lead), IEEP, UNEP-WCMC and IUCN to the support study to the formal Impact Assessment (IA) for a legally-binding initiative for EU-wide nature restoration targets. As part of this study, 10 thematic sub-assessments were undertaken for broad ecosystem types and other natural capital features in scope of the IA. These included seven sub-assessments for the following broad ecosystem types: 1. Inland wetland- and peatland ecosystems 2. Coastal- and inland saline ecosystems 3. Forest ecosystems 4. Agro-ecosystems 5. Steppe-, heath- and scrub ecosystems 6. Freshwater ecosystems 7. Marine ecosystems 8. Urban ecosystems In addition, two sub-assessments were undertaken for the following natural capital features: 9. Soils 10. Wild pollinating insects This Annex reports on 8 of the 10 assessments undertaken, excluding the assessments on urban ecosystems and soils. The urban assessment was largely conducted by experts of the European Commission including the Joint Research Centre, due to the unavailability of the consortium’s experts in the time available. The detailed assessment on urban ecosystems is therefore only published in the Commission’s Staff Working Document on the Impact Assessment. The soil assessment was excluded from the report since no soil-specific targets were included in the initiative, beyond soil-related subtargets for inland wetland- and agro-ecosystems, which are assessed in the Commission’s Staff Working Document on the Impact Assessment. Lastly it should be noted that while dune- & rocky ecosystems were included in the scope of the legal initiative, this came too late to be considered in this support study.
