Europe needs the law to #RestoreNature! Today, the law should have become a reality during the @EU_ENV Council. Instead, there was a discussion between Environment Ministers as there is no longer a majority supporting the law. Many countries spoke up in favour of the law expressing their disappointment on not being able to find a majority and adopt the law today, and their preoccupation on the implications of this deadlock. ⚠️The EU's reputation hangs in the balance in this critical year of EU elections. Failure to make the law a reality also undermines the EU’s credibility and leadership on its international commitments to tackle the biodiversity and climate crises... The Belgian Presidency, @EU2024BE, and @vonderleyen must seal the deal before summer and start to #RestoreNature now. Our future depends on it as this is our change to bring nature back to Europe and tackle the intertwined nature and climate crises. 🇩🇪, 🇮🇪, 🇫🇷, 🇪🇪, 🇸🇮, 🇪🇸, 🇨🇿, 🇩🇰, 🇵🇹, 🇱🇺, 🇱🇹, 🇭🇷, 🇨🇾 all expressed their support of the law during the meeting. 🗣️Irish environment minister, @EamonRyan
*Bulgaria 🇧🇬 also expressed its support for the NRL!
@BirdLifeEurope @EU_ENV Well said @EamonRyan / cc @fuspey @ECOLISE @CommunitiesforFuture #RestoreNature
@BirdLifeEurope @Klimaatzuster @EU_ENV Vergeet nooit dat @MinisterNenS van der Wal tegen #RestoreNature stemde & @ministerlnv #Adema zich onthield van stemming bij een verbod op #glyfosaat. #Rutte4 is het meest waardeloze kabinet van @markrutte.
@BirdLifeEurope @EU_ENV I feel ashamed for Sweden being one Country opposing the restoration law!
@BirdLifeEurope @EU_ENV @ChristianneWal kijk je even mee?
