The Strategy is an eight-year national multi-sectoral strategy with national coverage and an update of the first version covering 2006-2016. The update seeks to contribute to the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020. The Strategy is the Belgian answer to the formal obligation under the CBD and also takes the other commitments made at European and international level into account. It offers a framework for policy- making and further development of actions. It aims at giving strategic political orientations in order to allow actors for biodiversity in Belgium to work in partnership to contribute nationally and internationally towards the achievement of the target of halting the loss of biodiversity by 2020.
