  • Ensuring a system that disincentivises nature destruction

    Europe is facing a biodiversity emergency. Regulating and divesting from economic activities that harm nature must be the EU’s first strategy. In our response to the European Commission's Nature Credits Roadmap consultation, we support regulating nature credits as a way to implement the polluter-pays principle and measuring and rewarding progress along restoration goals. We strongly advise against relying on market mechanisms to support nature restoration.
