Today’s first “trialogue” between the European Commission Council of the European Union, and European Parliament on proposed changes to the European Union Deforestation Regulation #EUDR has ended in a tense standoff. The Commission and Council will only agree to a 12-month delay to the law’s implementation timetable – as proposed by the Commission on October 3 – while the political attack dogs from the Parliament are still angling to take a bite out of the substance of the law itself. The stalemate will last until the next trialogue, which will take place on, or before, December 3. So the wait continues to see if a law fundamental to protecting the world's forests will be delayed but left intact; or whether it will suffer a major blow, with critical impacts for people, wildlife and the climate.

The very last attempt to save Europe's Nature Restoration Law (NRL). 11 EU member states (led by Ireland) have written an urgent letter to Hungary, Sweden, Belgium, Finland, Austria and Poland to end the deadlock in the European Council. It is a timely call. The WWF just released a study which shows that EU Member States channel between €34 billion and €48 billion of European subsidies annually into activities that harm nature and biodiversity (https://lnkd.in/d2EvKuzv). The NRL would not reverse this, of course, but it would oblige Member States to restore at least 20% of land and sea habitat that is in poor condition by 2030 (90% by 2050). There already is a trilogue agreement and the European Parliament voted the NRL through in February. As with the CSDDD, the Council is the bottleneck. Many see this as a last attempt, as they doubt that Hungary (which takes over the EU Presidency in July) would revive the NRL. Fingers crossed for an important part of the EU Green Deal! #sustainability, #naturerestorationlaw, #biodiversity

This new study showing a pathway to improving Australia's natural environment is right on target. Australia massively underspends on the environment and every five years we get a state of environment report reflecting that neglect. Spending money on the environment works and it is affordable. It's just that the two major political parties are quick to slash spending on the environment. Solution: vote for the candidates with the best environmental policies.

Today, on ??????????????????????????? ???????????? ??????, the Institute for Law and Environmental Governance (ILEG) joins the global community in celebrating the vital role of forests. Forests provide us with clean air, water, and essential resources. They are also home to countless species and play a crucial role in combating climate change. At ILEG, we believe that strong legal frameworks and good governance are essential for protecting our forests. Together, we can ensure a future where our forests thrive! #ForestsForAll #SustainableForestry #ClimateAction #Kenya #EnvironmentalLaw

Coming soon in all EU countries

Europe's State of #Nature is deteriorating rapidly, with over 80 % of habitats in poor condition, posing risks to society and the global economy. The new EU Nature Restoration law aims to restore ecosystems, habitats, and species across the EU's land and sea. It includes legally binding targets for various ecosystems until 2030, such as forests, marine areas, urban spaces, and agriculture.? This law is crucial as it addresses the decline and promotes restoration, and will potentially impact the financial and industrial sectors in significant ways. To learn more about the law's relevance, background, and its implications for the private sector, read our latest #sustainability blog article which has been co-authored by Nhung K.: https://lnkd.in/eEDZFmpQ #NatureRestoration #SustainableFinance

?? Another hard-fought win for the Nature Restoration Law as the European Parliament voted in favour of the law's final agreement! "The Nature Restoration Law has always been so much more than a law to bring back nature. It is a symbol that Europe can, and will, commit to fighting for the survival of our planet," says our #RestoreNature coalition of WWF EU, BirdLife Europe and Central Asia, ClientEarth, and European Environmental Bureau. Members of the European Parliament listened to over 1 million citizens, scientists, businesses, activists and NGOs, and backed the negotiated agreement, despite last-minute attempts by far-right and conservative MEPs to torpedo it. "We are relieved that MEPs listened to facts and science, and did not give in to populism and fearmongering. Now, we urge Member States to follow suit and deliver this much-needed law to bring back nature in Europe," continues our #RestoreNature coalition. Read our full reaction: https://lnkd.in/eJ44CvaX

By making regulations and management plans readily available online, MPA websites could play a pivotal role in fostering greater transparency and public engagement in marine conservation initiatives. As highlighted by the Aarhus Convention, ensuring access to information, promoting public participation in decision-making, and facilitating access to justice are essential components of effective environmental governance. However, the assessment reveals that while most MPA websites serve as platforms for disseminating information, they fall short in serving as participatory instruments. ProtectedSeas Navigator works towards making marine regulations easier for everyone to access, and equipping the ocean community and decision makers with the data needed to act. https://lnkd.in/ekNqMxca #marineprotectedareas #europe #marineconservation #mpa

The European Parliament has approved the #naturerestorationlaw?today! ?? This marks a huge win for nature as the European Parliament has formally approved the #naturerestorationlaw which requires that "#EU countries must restore at least 30% of #habitats in poor condition by 2030, 60% by 2040, and 90% by 2050"! ?? This move shifts the EU approach to nature from just #conservation to a more restorative and holistic #naturerestoration approach. ? Hopefully, the UK & the rest of the globe can follow suit by allowing policy and law to guide us in ensuring we meet #30by30! #biodiversity #naturestrategy #nature #cop15
