"EU Parliament Defies Opposition to Pass Landmark Nature Restoration Law"

Originally Published 1 year ago — by Reuters

The EU Parliament passed a controversial nature law aimed at restoring nature on a fifth of land and sea by 2030, despite facing political backlash and protests from farmers who argue that EU green policies impose excessive bureaucracy. The law, which aims to reverse the decline of Europe's natural habitats, was approved with 329 votes in favor, 275 against, and 24 abstentions. While the final policy is weaker than originally planned, it still requires final approval from EU countries before entering into force.

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Reuters

The European Parliament has passed a controversial law aimed at restoring degraded natural ecosystems, despite opposition from some lawmakers. The legislation requires countries to introduce measures to restore nature on a fifth of their land and sea by 2030, with the goal of reversing the decline of Europe's natural habitats. The law has been hailed as a social victory by supporters, including scientists, young people, and the agricultural sector. However, critics, including the European People's Party, argue that the law could harm farmers and food security. Negotiations will now take place to finalize the text of the law.
