#RestoreNature joint statement
On International Day of Action for Rivers 2023, ECOS and 200+ organisations call on all Member States, the European Parliament, and the European Commission to adopt a strong and timely EU Nature Restoration Law.
The EU Nature Restoration Regulation is the unique opportunity of this decade to change the pathway from continuous deterioration to regeneration, where we steer towards a safe and resilient future of living in harmony with nature. Restoring nature means restoring our greatest ally in tackling the climate crisis and its severe impact, restoring our own health and wellbeing, and restoring our livelihoods and economies. Nature restoration is one of the best investments our society can make. Yet, time is running out.
The proposal for an EU Nature Restoration Law was tabled by the European Commission in June 2022 and includes legally binding restoration targets for various ecosystems across the EU. It can be a game-changer for nature, people, the climate, and the economy, as every €1 invested in nature restoration adds between €8 to €38 in economic value.
