All-Ireland Pollinator Plan 2021-2025: Final Review

The AIPP was originally developed from the ground up to meet the challenge of pollinator declines across the island. The final review for 2021-2025 aims to transparently and honestly assess what it has achieved in the last five years.

The second phase of the AIPP for 2021-2025 launched at the end of March 2021. It had 186 actions within six objectives. Within each objective, targets were set and actions identified to help achieve that target. Responsibility for delivering the 186 actions was shared out between the supporting organisations.

• Objective 1: Making farmland pollinator friendly
• Objective 2: Making public land pollinator friendly
• Objective 3: Making private land pollinator friendly
• Objective 4: All-Ireland Honey bee Strategy
• Objective 5: Conserving rare pollinators
• Objective 6: Strategic coordination of the Plan

Thanks to the widespread support from all partners organisations, the second phase of the AIPP was successfully delivered. Of the 186 actions, 172 have been completed (92%), 9 are in train (5%) and 5 have not been progressed (3%). The small number not fully delivered are either in train, have been deliberately reallocated to the next phase, or were funding dependent.

To mark the end of this phase, the following have been produced:

• AIPP Final Review – Overview of progress 2021-2025. This summarises the short, medium and long-term success of the AIPP. It also highlights issues and key highlights under each objective 
• AIPP Final Review – Update on each action 2021-2025. This is a final update against each of the 186 actions in the Plan, completed by the organisation who accepted responsibility for that action
• Infographic: AIPP key successes 2021-2025
• Celebratory booklet – One Hundred Tales of Hope: Stories of pollinator conservation from the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan 2021-2025. This booklet is aimed at the wider public (it will be released in early 2026)
