EU Council Approves Nature Restoration Law Despite Opposition
TL;DR Summary
The UN's top environment official, Inger Andersen, has condemned the "misinformation" spread about the EU's flagship biodiversity law by some political parties, warning that the law must pass. The Nature Restoration Law is a key element of the EU's Green Deal, seeking to halt biodiversity loss and make ecosystems more resilient. The conservative European People's Party (EPP) has led the backlash against the law, arguing that it places too high a burden on European farmers and could even lead to "global famine." Andersen rejected the "false narrative" that farming and biodiversity protection are at odds with each other.
