ABSTRACT
The health crisis has deeply affected our system and has brought to light many weaknesses and shortcomings that everyone has become suddenly aware and afraid of. The European Green Deal of the European Union (EU) first, and the health and economic crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic then, make clear the urgent action to tackle with the climate change and biodiversity issues. In Europe, environmental action has been defined as primary and urgent and the activities connected to this action have not stopped, even in the peak of the pandemic. The EU aim is to improve post-2020 global framework at the 15th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity. The IPBES Global Assessment Report identifies five main drivers of biodiversity loss: changes in land and sea use; overexploitation of organisms; climate change; pollution; and invasive alien species.
