Reason 8 why we need the #NatureRestorationLaw : Uncertain if the EU Council will approve the NRL. Reasons to oppose vary by country, but often based on misinformation. See our detailed response here: zenodo.org/records/106318….

Reason 7 why we need the #NatureRestorationLaw : Biodiversity crisis. Overwhelming support from science. Slim and flexible regulation. Legal certainty. A regulation for all EU citizens. The NRL explained in 3 min with items I found in my office. youtube.com/watch?v=Qcg-_C…

Heute am #Weltfrauentag wünschen wir uns: mehr #Frauen in der #Wasserwirtschaft ! 24 % unserer Beschäftigten sind weiblich. Das reicht uns nicht! Um einen nachhaltigen Wandel hin zu mehr #Vielfalt in der Branche einzuleiten, brauchen wir mehr weiblichen Nachwuchs.

Freue mich mit Martina Flörke Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Beate Krok Zentrum für Wasser- und Umweltforschung & allen Mitgliedern der #WaterScienceAlliance die Dt. #Wasserforschung weiter zusammenzubringen. Dazu bietet die #WSA jetzt ein tolles Programm für Nachwuchsforschende: den Career Navigator

REALLY happy that the #NatureRestorationLaw has been adopted. Thanks to all the many supporters from policy, NGOs and science (which may have played a role). Now let us put it into practice, WITH farmers, water managers, and all other who depend on nature.

The European Parliament adopts the #NatureRestorationLaw to restore 20% of EU’s land and sea. What a great day to host our all-partner meeting in Vienna and discuss about nature-based solutions. Nature has the right to be restored.
