The final vote of the EU Parliament on the “nature restoration law” (NRL) is still awaited, but the text has been agreed. In a paper that just appeared in Science Magazine we analyse the opportunities and threats the NRL will be facing. A thread.

Pretty chuffed to post our first paper in the journal Science! It focuses on the EU's Nature Restoration Law, its risks and opportunities and is a collaboration across a few key EU-funded projects. #RestorationCluster WaterLANDS UCD Environmental Policy UCD Earth Institute science.org/stoken/author-…

Time to make the change. Who's on board?

This is important to acknowledge around the recent Nature Restoration Law passing: Article 9 on agricultural land (including drained peatlands) has simply been deleted. I don't think the term 'watered down' applies any longer...
