This event was co-hosted by MEP Pascal Canfin (RENEW), Chair of the European Parliament’s Environment, Public Health and Food Safety Committee(ENVI) and MEP César Luena (S&D), Rapporteur of the EU Nature Restoration Law and took place in the European Parliament in Brussels. Businesses are aware of their role in supporting the transition towards a resilient net-zero economy and an equitable, nature-positive future. Additionally, an increasing number of companies are aware that nature restoration will play a key role in increasing the EU’s resilience and contribute to the economy by bringing socio-economic benefits such as sustainable jobs, recreation opportunities, and broader health benefits. Against this backdrop, CLG Europe brought together EU decision-makers, leading businesses and NGOs in this event, organised under the Green Growth Partnership, to discuss the role of EU Nature Restoration Law in addressing today’s dual climate and nature crisis, as well as providing a range of economic opportunities including high quality jobs and growth of new sectors.
