In 2023, the reported expenditures by the public sector on environmental protection services aimed at biodiversity and landscape protection in Europe showed Italy leading with 1.92 billion Euros. Germany followed with a strong increase, recording 4.07% growth from the previous year. Belgium and Luxembourg also experienced notable growth rates of 5.98% and 4.29%, respectively. In contrast, Finland and Greece depicted declines of -1.89% and -12.94% in their spending. Spain's expenditure decreased by -4.23%, despite its relatively higher spending compared to smaller economies. Over the past five years, Italy showed a slow growth trend, while other countries experienced varied growth rates.
Looking ahead, several trends could influence Europe's landscape and biodiversity protection expenditure. Monitoring climate change mitigation policy adaptations and funding allocations could reveal priority shifts that affect future expenditures. Additionally, the European Union's policy directions, including the Green Deal, may drive further investment in sustainable environmental practices by the public sector.
