NRC Biodiversity28, 29 Setember 2009 Ivone Pereira Martins, Head Biodiversity Group
Main objectives of the meeting Present and discuss recent EEA products and projects as well as the perspectives for the incoming year around the SEBI2010 process in view to improve future indicator developments in support of up-coming major assessments (e.g.SOER2010). The need to have extended spatial and temporal data coverage will be debated as will be the role of networks, platforms and facilities operating within SEIS objectives. The main lines for the meeting will be: • From the 2010 target up to a post-2010 vision • From indicators (the SEBI2010 process) to assessments • How networks may support the EEA MDIAK chain within the SEIS objectives Interactions between EEA/NRC, new topics for discussion, involvement between meetings
Rationale behind the Agenda • The Biodiversity issues in the perspective of EEA 2009-2013 Strategy - a year in review. The SEBI2010 - Main results and outputs at European and national levels Biodiversity indicators - 2 to 3 selected country experiences • The Post 2010 vision and target and implications for 2010 and post-2010 EEA products SEBI2010 and the support to the Biodiversity Action Plan reporting SEBI as a key process in a post 2010 frame - discussion on features required • Major assessments in 2010 (SOER2010, Astana, EURECA) - implications for NRCs Mobilising data and information - Contribution to EEA assessment activities • On going monitoring and assessment initiatives (at global, European and regional scales - e.g.GBIF, GEObon, LifeWatch, LTER, EBONE, EPA and ENCA, CAFF networks) - streamlining efforts at national level.

1.3 BiodiversityMain lines of work in 2009 To provide continued support to the European Commission and Member States on implementation of the EU Habitats and Birds Directive. To build further the Biodiversity data centre and other information systems for biodiversity based on SEIS principles. To promote results from SEBI2010 and strengthen its focus on ecosystem services. To implement relevant building blocks for SOER 2010 assessment and Eureca 2012 developments. Two connected-areas: 2.3. Ecosystem Services 2.8. Agriculture and Forests
