An index giving an indication of the relative magnitude of the effects of climate change stressors on marine ecosystems
The indicator presents the percentage of each NUTS region that is protected. Protected areas include all figures of protection as specified in CDDA.
In line with its international commitments, the EU’s biodiversity strategy for 2030 (EC, 2021a) sets out a long-term plan to protect nature and reverse the degradation of ecosystems, and builds on the EU biodiversity strategy to 2020 (EC, 2021b). The EU Birds and Habitats Directives are central to EU biodiversity policy, through the designation and protection of areas of high biodiversity value, known as the Natura 2000 network, with the aim of protecting valuable species and habitats on land and at sea (EEA, 2020).
