The rate of global biodiversity decline is unprecedented and accelerating. Urban sprawl, population growth and industrialization bringpreviously unrecognised drivers of biodiversity loss, including light and noise pollution. The EU has adopted policies, including the EUGreen Deal and the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030, to enable transformative change through better protection of biodiversity andnature restoration activities. However, current projections suggest that the EU’s 2030 biodiversity target will not be met; an alternativeplan is required. PLAN-B takes an integrated, multidisciplinary and multi-actor approach to deliver better understanding and supportreduction of light and noise pollution impacts on terrestrial biodiversity and ecosystem services. Key outputs of PLAN-B include: aframework and supporting handbook for assessing light and noise pollution impacts to inform environmental decision-making; an openaccess database on light and noise impacts on terrestrial biodiversity; spatiotemporal models for evaluating noise and light impacts onterrestrial biodiversity and ecosystem services, including at the European scale; innovative solutions to prevent and mitigate light andnoise pollution impacts; recommendations for enhancing legal and policy frameworks to reduce light and noise pollution impacts onterrestrial biodiversity; and sustainable Communities of Practice (CoPs), centred around key stakeholder groups, on the impacts of lightand noise on terrestrial biodiversity. Working with European and international partners, including from Brazil, CoPs, key networks (e.g.Biodiversa+) and the Horizon Europe sister project on aquatic biodiversity and ecosystems, PLAN-B will maximise its global reach andresearch impact. Through its work programme, PLAN-B will create the enabling conditions to support and enhance activities planned inthe EU biodiversity strategy and provide a new path towards meeting the EU and international biodiversity targets.

全球生物多样性的下降速度是前所未有的，而且还在加速。城市扩张、人口增长和工业化带来了以前不为人知的生物多样性丧失驱动因素，包括光和噪音污染。欧盟已经通过了包括欧盟绿色协议和欧盟2030年生物多样性战略在内的政策，通过更好地保护生物多样性和自然恢复活动，实现变革性的变化。然而，目前的预测表明，欧盟2030年的生物多样性目标将无法实现；需要一个替代计划。B计划采取综合、多学科和多行为者的办法，以便更好地了解和支持减少光和噪声污染对陆地生物多样性和生态系统服务的影响。计划B的主要产出包括：评估光和噪声污染影响的框架和辅助手册，为环境决策提供信息；关于光和噪声对陆地生物多样性的影响的开放式数据库；评估噪声和光对陆地生物多样性和生态系统服务影响的时空模型，包括在欧洲一级；预防和减轻光和噪声污染影响的创新解决办法；关于加强减少光和噪声污染对陆地生物多样性影响的法律和政策框架的建议；以主要利益攸关方群体为中心的关于光和噪声对陆地生物多样性影响的可持续实践共同体。B计划将与欧洲和国际合作伙伴，包括来自巴西的COPS、关键网络(例如BioDiversa+)和关于水生生物多样性和生态系统的Horizon Europe姊妹项目合作，最大限度地扩大其全球覆盖范围和研究影响。通过其工作方案，计划B将创造有利条件，支持和加强欧盟生物多样性战略中计划开展的活动，并提供一条实现欧盟和国际生物多样性目标的新途径。
