The EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 establishes an objective to reverse the decline of pollinators by 2030. The EU Pollinator Initiative was revised in 2023, and it provides an action framework for (i) improving knowledge on pollinators (including monitoring), (ii) tackling the drivers of their decline, and (iii) for mobilising society and engage in strategic planning. The methodology for an EU-wide pollinator monitoring scheme is being developed, supported by a range of activities to enhance the taxonomic capacity on pollinators. The Commission aims at setting up an integrated monitoring framework, linking information about the status and trends of pollinator populations with drivers of their decline, in particular land use and habitat quality, as well as pesticide pressure. The Commission supports several monitoring initiatives in this regard (LUCAS, EMBAL, Insignia).
