Nature restoration law: EU Council gives final green light
Nature restoration law: EU Council gives final green light
This law aims to put measures in place to restore at least 20% of the EU’s land and sea areas by 2030, and all ecosystems in need of restoration by 2050.
It sets specific, legally binding targets and obligations for nature restoration in each of the listed ecosystems – from terrestrial to marine, freshwater and urban ecosystems.

This is great news. I'm deeply ashamed for the government of my country for opposing it, but super relieved that it passed! Thank you Austrian campaigners! Even though it got substantially weakened during the negotiation process:( I doubt it's enough to combat biodiversity loss in Europe, but it's a big and direly needed step.
