EU-wide methodology to map and assess ecosystem condition : towards a common approach consistent with a global statistical standard

The EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 calls for developing an EU-wide methodology to map, assess and achieve good condition of ecosystems, so they can deliver benefits to society through the provision of ecosystem services. The EU-wide methodology presented in this report addresses this methodological gap, taking into account the most recent developments on ecosystem condition assessment, such as the global statistical standard on ecosystem accounts.
