The establishment of synergies between biodiversity and health has become a major challenge to the coherence and sustainability of European Union law, which routinely uses health concerns as an argument for improving environmental quality but has arguably retained a fragmented, sectoral policy response to biodiversity loss and its impacts on human health. In this chapter, we specifically focus on the current state of the EU internal policies on biodiversity, their impact on human health and well-being, and the progressive incorporation of biodiversity and health linkages in the definition, implementation and interpretation of legal rules in this field. In doing so, we devote particular attention to the Birds and Habitats Directives, which are often described as the cornerstones of the Union’s policy on biodiversity, as well as to Regulation 1143/2014 on invasive alien species (IAS Regulation).

Abstract

The establishment of synergies between biodiversity and health has become a major challenge to the coherence and sustainability of European Union law, which routinely uses health concerns as an argument for improving environmental quality but has arguably retained a fragmented, sectoral policy response to biodiversity loss and its impacts on human health. In this chapter, we specifically focus on the current state of the EU internal policies on biodiversity, their impact on human health and well-being, and the progressive incorporation of biodiversity and health linkages in the definition, implementation and interpretation of legal rules in this field. In doing so, we devote particular attention to the Birds and Habitats Directives, which are often described as the cornerstones of the Union’s policy on biodiversity, as well as to Regulation 1143/2014 on invasive alien species (IAS Regulation).
