Despite the encouraging progress, the adoption is still a long way down the road. The next steps in the process will take place on the 29 or 30 of November when the MEPs of the ENVI Committee will cast their vote. Then, if an agreement is reached, a plenary voting should take place in December 2023. Finally, EU Member States will vote on the agreement within the Council.
The Nature Restoration Law is due to establish land and sea restoration targets. As such, the agreement sets the goal of restoring 20% of land and 20% of sea areas by 2030. In addition, concerning areas in poor condition, the restoration targets are set to 30% by 2030, 60% by 2040 and 90% by 2050.
