The All-Ireland Pollinator Plan 2026-2030 is a framework bringing together different sectors across the island of Ireland to create a landscape where pollinators can survive & thrive. This new plan five-year plan brings together communities, farmers, businesses & public bodies to create a more biodiversity-rich landscape.

Building on the success of the first two phases, this new Pollinator Plan is the most ambitious yet, aiming to create pockets of nature every 200m in the landscape.

Since 2015, implementation of the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan has been coordinated by the National Biodiversity Data Centre. Thanks to action across all sectors during the first ten years of the Plan, pollinators are now in a much better position, but they still face major challenges. The 2026-2030 phase will be supported by a dedicated team of eight staff within the NBDC. The NBDC monitoring schemes and expertise help to provide the scientific basis for evidence-based action and to identify where action will have the greatest impact for our threatened pollinators.

The AIPP 2026-2030 includes 50 strategic aims and 75 success metrics, which will be reported annually to ensure accountability and transparency. Its 10 work packages cover key sectors such a Farmland, Public Land, Transport Networks, Communities, and Businesses. Together, these work packages aim to drive landscape-scale change, connecting individual actions into a coherent ecological shift towards an island where pollinators can survive and thrive.

In a time of climate and biodiversity anxiety, the Pollinator Plan empowers people to create positive change for our future and provides all the knowledge and tools to allow anyone to take action for biodiversity.

Its ethos is simple: ‘small actions, taken together, can create real change – helping to restore pollinators in order to build a healthier, more resilient environment for everyone.
