BESTLIFE2030

BESTLIFE2030 (Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in Territories of European Overseas) is a granting mechanism focusing on preserving and restoring biodiversity in the EU’s outermost regions (ORs) and Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs), which host rich biodiversity but also face significant climate change threats.

The project, spanning six regions worldwide, i.e. Amazonia, Caribbean, Indian Ocean, Macaronesia, Pacific, and North Atlantic, engages a consortium of experts to guide and empower local stakeholders in implementing conservation projects, thus emphasizing capacity development, local community engagement and knowledge sharing.

Specific goals include supporting biodiversity conservation, fostering sustainable ecosystem services, and integrating conservation into local decision-making across various sectors.

Ultimately, BESTLIFE2030 strives to make a lasting positive impact on biodiversity, climate adaptation, and sustainable development in vulnerable regions.
