SYBERAC Towards a SYstems-Based, holistic Environmental Risk Assessment of Chemicals

生物多样性是现代社会的关键，可维持自然资源并提供必要的生态系统服务。根据联合国可持续发展目标、欧洲绿色协议、欧盟生物多样性战略以及其他欧洲和国家层面的指令和战略法规，污染是生物多样性丧失的主要驱动因素之一。化学品的使用、释放和对环境的影响所造成的风险在欧盟层面的大量指令和监管战略中得到了解决，每项指令和战略都有具体的（化学品）目标和保护目标。然而，令人关切的是，这种各自为政的做法确实减轻了化学品对生物多样性和生态系统服务的威胁。为了保护遗传和功能生物多样性不受污染影响，需要转变模式。这种转变应超越目前在特定监管筒仓中进行的零散的环境风险评估（ERA），农药的植物保护产品（PPP）法规，工业化学品的REACH法规和生物杀灭化学品的生物杀灭剂框架，以实现适用于所有化学品，物种和土地使用功能的统一和基于系统的ERA。为了取得这一进展，SYBERAC将提供前进的方法，将目前基于筒仓的保护目标合理化为基于系统的高级别保护目标，并在基于系统的ERA中实施这些目标。六个案例研究，涵盖当前电子逆向拍卖的不同筒仓，将为所制定的方法提供概念验证。在有针对性的利益攸关方参与的基础上，与该主题的其他相关项目密切合作，将向广泛的受众传播结果和成果，包括国家和欧盟一级的监管机构，工业合作伙伴，以及土地管理者，农民和保护机构。

TOWARDS A SYSTEM BASED, HOLISTIC ENVIRONMENTAL RISK ASSESSMENT OF CHEMICALS (SYBERAC) Biodiversity is key to modern society, sustaining natural resources and providing essential ecosystem services. According to the UN Sustainable Development goals, the European Green Deal, the EU Biodiversity strategy and other European and national level Directives and strategic regulations, pollution is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss. The risks resulting from the use, release and effects of chemical on the environment is addressed in a plethora of EU-level Directives and regulatory strategies, each with specific (chemical) targets and protection aims. There is, however, concern that such a fragmented approach does alleviate the threats of chemicals to biodiversity and ecosystem services. To protect genetic and functional biodiversity from pollution impacts, a paradigm shift is needed. Thistransformation should move beyond the current fragmented Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) performed in specific regulatory silos, e.g., Plant Protection Products (PPPs)regulation for pesticides, REACH for industrial chemicals and Biocides framework for Biocidal chemicals, towards a harmonised and systems-based ERA applicable to all chemicals, species and land use functions. To make this advance, SYBERAC will provide ways forward to rationalise the current silo-based Protection Goals into high-level system-based Protection Goals and to operationalise their use within systems-based ERA robust and broadly applicable ERA structures. Six case studies, overarching different silos of current ERA will provide proof-of-concepts of the developed approaches. Based on targeted stakeholder engagement, in close cooperation with other relevant projects on the topic, results and outcomes will be disseminated towards a wide audience, including national and EU level regulatory institutions, industrial partners but also land managers, farmers and conservation bodies.
