In response to the passing of the Nature Restoration Law by the EU Environment Council, Dominic Gogol, Deputy Director Policy, We Mean Business Coalition said:
“The passing of the Nature Restoration Law after the EU elections shows the Green Deal is still alive and kicking. Ensuring 20 per cent of the EU’s land and seas are restored by 2030 are objectives that every nation should be behind – a thriving natural environment offers populations and economies a wealth of seen and unseen benefits that allow business to operate, and people to live healthy lives.
“Companies will be keen to work with member states as they develop implementation plans for how these nature objectives will be met on land and sea. Businesses have a huge opportunity to play a positive role through their operations, value chains, and investments.
“This watershed legislation is a promising milestone in efforts to halt and reverse nature loss by 2030, as outlined by the Kunming-Montreal Agreement and in line with outcomes to meet the Paris Agreement 1.5C target.”
