Summary:
Regulation (EU) 2024/1991 - adopted by the co-legislators on 24 June 2024 - aimed at restoring damaged ecosystems and bringing nature back across the European Union (EU). This is also known as the Nature Restoration Law. The Act also introduces amendments to Regulation (EU) 2022/869. This is a text with EEA relevance.
Further information:
This Regulation establishes a framework with which Member States shall put in place effective and area-based restoration measures with the aim to jointly cover, as an EU-wide target, throughout the areas and ecosystems within the scope of this Regulation, at least 20 % of land areas and at least 20 % of sea areas by 2030, and all ecosystems in need of restoration by 2050. It envisages the establishment of National Restoration Plans.
The rules aim to contribute to the long-term and sustained recovery of biodiverse and resilient ecosystems across the Member States' land and sea areas through the restoration of degraded ecosystems. They also seek to achieve the EU's overarching objectives concerning climate change mitigation, climate change adaptation and land degradation neutrality.
The draft Regulation was adopted by the European Commission on 22 June 2022 as part of a so-called nature protection package. It delivered on elements of the European Green Deal, in particular the commitment within the Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 for leadership on reversing biodiversity loss and restoring nature. It was also seen as a key contribution on a post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework.
The Council of the European Union adopted its general approach to this draft law on 20 June 2023. Following the rejection of a proposed negotiating position at committee level on 27 June, the plenary of the European Parliament adopted its approach on 12 July. An informal agreement between the co-legislators on a compromise text for this file was reached on 9 November. This was formally endorsed by the Parliament's plenary on 27 February 2024 and by the Council on 17 June 2024.
