Biodiversa+ is the European Biodiversity Partnership that supports excellent research on biodiversity with an impact on policy and society. Biodiversa+ is working towards the 2050 vision of “living in harmony with nature,” in line with global biodiversity goals and the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030.
The partnership aims to halt ecosystem loss by 2030, reduce species extinction risks, and support the recovery of biodiversity across Europe.
A major focus is on scaling up nature-based solutions to address societal challenges while strengthening the role of biodiversity in sustainable development and the green economy.
To deliver impact, Biodiversa+ has identified five strategic objectives, including improving biodiversity monitoring, generating actionable knowledge, and supporting evidence-based policymaking. It also promotes science-based approaches to valuing ecosystem services and natural capital, helping integrate biodiversity into broader decision-making.
These ambitions are implemented through nine interconnected work packages covering research and innovation, monitoring, policy support, international cooperation, and stakeholder engagement. Communication, open science, and coordination are also central to ensuring that Biodiversa+ activities remain aligned and effective.
Together, these efforts are designed to drive transformative change and put biodiversity on a path to recovery in Europe and beyond.

The Stargate project obtained funding under the special Green Deal call of Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic of “green ports and airports”. It received the maximum score of the evaluators and was selected out of more than 40 projects. Stargate’s purpose is to prove that sustainable aviation is possible and happening. It focuses on the further decarbonization of the aviation industry, the improvement of local environmental quality and the stimulation of the modal split. Together with a consortium of 21 European partners with a diverse and rich expertise (airports, community partners, knowledge institutions, consultants, local governments, …), Brussels Airports takes the lead as lighthouse airport to develop and implement innovative solutions. Results that prove successful can be deployed at the fellow airports (Toulouse, Budapest, Athens). Over the course of the coming five years, the consortium will exchange knowledge to investigate and realize more than 30 concrete projects.
