After the Nature Restoration Act comes into force, degraded ecosystems will be restored across Europe

On Sunday (August 18), the regulation on the restoration of nature (law on the restoration of nature) came into force. Full implementation of the law is key to restoring EU biodiversity and halting further biodiversity loss, achieving climate neutrality by 2050 and adapting to climate change, and increasing food security for EU citizens. The law will thereby support the achievement of other European ambitions, such as water security.

It is also a key tool to help the EU and its Member States meet their international biodiversity commitments under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.

The law sets in motion the process of continuous and sustainable restoration of nature on EU land and sea, while promoting more sustainable economic development and agricultural production and hand in hand with the development of renewable energy. (More on environment.ec.europa.eu)
