Although science widely supports moving towards transformative change through integrating biodiversity into decision-making, and arguing for the essential role of public authorities, it falls short on suggesting specific means to that end. This article considers the EU's approach to fostering the green transition as part of its post-pandemic recovery while exploring how the integration of biodiversity considerations could be integrated into decision-making. The rationale and implementation of the EU's principle is examined, which functioned as a condition for public funds. The analysis shows the mentioned EU policy innovation has a very limited impact. The role of has been limited to validating, rather than initiating policy measures. It has failed to influence the design of measures such that they would benefit biodiversity and not encouraged synergies between the climate and biodiversity goals. Based on the experience with as well as the more focussed regulatory action directed at the goal of climate neutrality, the article lists key steps for fostering biodiversity integration in policy planning and policy implementation. These steps encompass substantive and procedural approaches and aim for deliberation, target-setting, tracking, verification and screening. There is considerable scope for robust regulation to play a role in support of the biodiversity goals alongside transformative bottom-up initiatives.
尽管科学广泛支持通过将生物多样性纳入决策来实现变革性变化，并主张公共当局的重要作用，但在为此目的提出具体手段方面却有所欠缺。本文将欧盟促进绿色转型的方法视为其疫情后复苏的一部分，同时探讨如何将生物多样性考量纳入决策。对作为公共资金条件的欧盟原则的基本原理和实施情况进行了研究。分析表明，上述欧盟政策创新的影响非常有限。其作用仅限于验证，而非启动政策措施。它未能影响措施的设计，使其有利于生物多样性，也未鼓励气候与生物多样性目标之间的协同增效。基于相关经验以及针对气候中和目标的更具针对性的监管行动，本文列出了在政策规划和政策实施中促进生物多样性整合的关键步骤。这些步骤包括实质性和程序性方法，旨在进行审议、设定目标、跟踪、核查和筛选。除了自下而上的变革性举措外，强有力的监管在支持生物多样性目标方面还有很大发挥作用的空间。
