EU Council adopts Nature Restoration Law; 20% land/sea restoration goal by 2030; concerns raised by farming groups about implementation and funding.
The EU Council adopted the Nature Restoration Law, requiring member states to restore at least 20% of land and sea by 2030. Farming groups express concerns about the law's implementation and funding, with no national impact assessment carried out and uncertainties about how it will impact food production and food security. Irish lawmakers have proposed a motion to secure a government guarantee for the continuation of agricultural activities on farmland while meeting the law's targets.
