"European Parliament Divided: Backlash and Cliffhanger Vote on Nature Restoration Law"
The Nature Restoration Law, a key piece of legislation in the European Green Deal aiming to make the EU climate neutral by 2050, is facing strong opposition from centrist and right-wing parties in the European Parliament. The law proposes binding targets to restore degraded ecosystems and protect marine, urban, and agricultural ecosystems. Critics argue that it poses risks to food security and energy output, while supporters believe it could boost economic growth in the long term. The outcome of the vote on Wednesday will determine the future of the law and may signal a shift in EU priorities regarding international environmental commitments.
