As part of the #RestoreNature Campaign, together with MEP Cesar Luena, MEP Maria Soraya Rodriguez Ramos and MEP Jutta Paulus, we invite you to attend the documentary screening and discussion on the Nature Restoration Law
The EU Nature Restoration Law proposal represents a huge opportunity to tackle the biodiversity and climate crises. Nature Restoration brings immense benefits for our health, wellbeing, community, can be our biggest ally in addressing and adapting to the climate crisis and also secure sustainable food and livelihoods.
The #RestoreNature Campaign, created by Birdlife Europe, the European Environmental Bureau, WWF, ClientEarth and joined by more than 200 NGOs, has the overarching objective of reaching the adoption of a strong Nature Restoration Law by the end of 2023, by demonstrating the benefits of nature restoration.
In the light of the current discussion around the Nature Restoration Law, join us for an exchange on the role of restoration in Europe and the impact that this law could bring in the EU.
