ACTNOW

Advancing understanding of Cumulative Impacts on European

marine biodiversity, ecosystem functions and services for human wellbeing.

ACTNOW is a state-of-the-art work programme that provides regulators and decision-makers the knowledge and fit-for-purpose tools they need to combat bio-diversity loss in coastal and marine habitats threatened by climate change interacting with other local and regional drivers.​​ 

Our key actions are

  • to reveal areas of high biodiversity and climate value,

  • recommend effective conservation actions to be implemented,

  • promote better respect for nature in public and business decision-making, 

  • and thus be a world leader in tackling the global biodiversity crisis.
