In 2023, France led Europe's investment in biodiversity and landscape protection, with Italy and Germany following. Estonia showed a remarkable increase of 23.69% year-on-year, while Spain faced the largest decline at 20.85%. Most countries exhibited slight variations, with notable growth in Luxembourg and a decline in Finland. The five-year compound annual growth rate was mixed, reflecting diverse national priorities and economic conditions.
Looking ahead, increased regulatory focus and public awareness on sustainability may drive further investments in biodiversity protection. However, economic challenges could limit growth, making policy support crucial for continuous investment and development across Europe.
