🧵1/5 Let’s put things straight about the Nature Restoration Law:
 
Restoration gives Nature a chance to be the vital force we need for our future & economies.
 
This law responds to science’s alarming calls, seen in @IPCC's latest report, & peoples' demands to bring Nature back.

2/7 This is our Climate Law for biodiversity.
 
There will be no climate neutrality without restored ecosystems.
 
Climate change & biodiversity loss are one: we'll either win or fail in both.
 
If we want to achieve our climate goals, there's no magic solution: we need Nature.

3/7 Businesses support us: restoration doesn’t mean stopping economic activities!

More than 50% of global GDP depends on biodiversity.

Insurance companies have invested EUR 510 billion in companies with high dependency on ecosystem services.

Our economy is in Nature's hands.

5/7 Nature & energy: they don’t compete, they can foster each other.

6/7 The EU led the negotiations for a global deal of Nature.
 
We need this law to fulfil our own commitments on this landmark agreement & walk the talk, as our international credibility is at stake.
 
This starts here, at home, by restoring & protecting our ecosystems.

7/7 Finally, our Nature Restoration Law will create greener cities.

For the 40% of Europeans that live in cities we want:

Clean air, cooler summers with less extreme temperatures, green spaces where children can play.

This Law will be our legacy for the next generations.
