EU Parliament Votes for the EU Nature Restoration Law
In a pretty close decision, the European Parliament has voted in favor of the EU Nature Restoration Law, a key law for the EU Green New Deal. After many debates, Europe now set some concrete goals for restoring natural habitats: by 2030, 20% of the ecosystem should be restored, both on land and sea. This goal extends to the restoration of all ecosystems by 2050. Now only the member states have to adopt the law into their national guidelines. We have the background and criticism on the law here.
