As part of the Belgian EU Presidency’s priority for territorial cohesion, ESPON produced a policy brief highlighting national strategies and discourses aimed at achieving No Net Land Take (NNLT) in Europe. The publication explores the critical need for coordinated approaches to preserve land resources and reverse the degradation of ecosystems, as emphasized in the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 under the European Green Deal.
This policy brief provides valuable insights into:
- Operationalizing NNLT: developing a shared definition of land take to enhance collaboration.
- National Efforts: examining how countries implement NNLT measures and address related challenges.
- Stakeholder Inspiration : presenting effective approaches across EU Member States and regions.
