Since 2017, EUROPARC has successfully organised the Seminar Dialogue. On 14 November 2024 EUROPARC, Protected Areas representatives and the European Commission met for a dialogue. 

Partnerships for Biodiversity – European Policies and the role of Protected Areas

By bringing together representatives of the European Commission and Protected Area professionals, EUROPARC aims to spotlight the contribution of Protected Areas to the achievement of European policy goals, whilst giving the European Commission a clear insight into the work done and challenges faced by professionals in the field.

‘Seminar Dialogue’ is an opportunity to give a voice to nature within the European Commission and highlight the importance of Protected Areas.

In 2024, EUROPARC and the Directorate-General for Environment (DG ENV) organised a hybrid event focused on the following key areas:

  • Protected Area Management Effectiveness
  • Protected Area designations
  • Biodiversity financing and funding

EUROPARC thanks all the presenters and participants! A special thanks is also extended to the European Commission for the co-organisation of this event. There will be another Seminar Dialogue in 2025 to which all EUROPARC members are invited.
