#RestoreNature joint statement

The document is a joint call from 200 civil society organisations for the European Union to implement a robust Nature Restoration Law. The signatories argue that current efforts are inadequate to combat mass biodiversity extinction and climate breakdown, which are manifesting in Europe as frequent droughts, floods, and forest fires. They demand the safeguarding of specific legal elements, including enforceable targets for all terrestrial and marine habitats, the restoration of agricultural ecosystems and peatlands, and the provision of dedicated funding and access to justice.

• The signatories argue that the EU Nature Restoration Regulation is a critical opportunity to shift from environmental deterioration to regeneration, noting that nature restoration is a primary tool for tackling climate change and supporting health, wellbeing, and economies.
• The organisations express concern over recent political opposition to the regulation, which they claim has led to the weakening of the legal text.
