This event is co-organised with ENV. D2 within the framework of the EU Green Week 2020<\/a>.<\/h4>\n

\u00a0To reverse biodiversity loss, the Biodiversity Strategy 2030 puts forward a new EU Nature Restoration Plan. A key element of the plan is to strengthen the EU legal framework for nature restoration, and for the European Commission to put forward a proposal for legally binding EU nature restoration targets in 2021 to restore degraded ecosystems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Given that the new legal instrument proposed in the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 will need to cover both a broad range of ecosystems and be specific, concrete and\u00a0 implementable, the attendees of the session will be\u00a0 able to engage in a discussion on what specific restoration targets, measures and approaches could be put forward.<\/p>\n

Please register in the EU Green Week<\/a> website.<\/p>\n
