2 7 European Overseas regions 34 EU Overseas entities, linked to 6 Member States: FR, UK, NL, SP, PT, DK 25 OCTs (Overseas Countries and Territories) & 9 ORs (Outermost Regions) 5 Global Biodiversity Hotspots; > 70% of EU s biodiversity but also as many endangered species as Europe mainland From tropical to polar regions >150 islands rich in biodiversity and unique habitats World largest marine territory occurring in all large oceans; combined EEZ 15 million km 2 5 EU Overseas entities protected > 10% of their marine territory - some of the world s largest marine protected areas (MPAs) 2 INTERNATIONAL UNION FOR CONSERVATION OF NATURE 2
3 7 European Overseas regions Common, interlinked threats Habitat degradation Climate Change Unsustainable development Pollution Overexploitation of natural resources Invasive alien species (IAS) Socio-economic & political challenges No integrated approach to marine management 3 INTERNATIONAL UNION FOR CONSERVATION OF NATURE 3
4 Common threats to Europe Overseas Climate Change >150 EU overseas tropical islands More frequent and severe storms Ocean acidification impacts Already damaged ecosystems will be effected by rising sea levels Habitat degradation Increase of invasive alien species Polar and sub-polar regions Loss of unique habitats and biodiversity with melting ice caps Combined effects of ocean acidification, trophic changes, evolution & fish stocks not yet known Unsustainable development EU overseas are rich in natural resources Extraction of minerals, oil & natural resources Degradation of coastal ecosystems Overfishing EU overseas have fewer capacities Pollution/poor waste management Maladaption to climate change (e.g. Sea walls) Unregulated tourism No integrated approach to marine management & spatial planning à Negative consequences for economy and ecology 4 INTERNATIONAL UNION FOR CONSERVATION OF NATURE 4
5 Common challenges as chance for sustainable economic development q Potential to pioneer the transition to renewable/green energy q Eco-tourism q Building capacity: education and awareness on natural resources q Establishment of protected areas for recovery of habitats & species q Regional cooperation on ecosystem-based approaches (e.g. IAS, management of PAs and KBAs) q Parks and reserves as resources for education, employment and income q Sustainable use of ecosystem services q Establishment of regional platforms for skills and technology exchange q Development of regional strategies & management plans BEST Initiative 5 INTERNATIONAL UNION FOR CONSERVATION OF NATURE 5
