What is the EU Restoration Law?
The time to act is now! On July 11/12, the European Parliament will hold a final vote on the EU Restoration Law. It is our best political means to fight against droughts, floods and other climate-related extreme weather events. But it is on the brink of being stopped.
All the efforts made so far are not enough to stop the environmental crises. Until now, EU law did not provide for binding targets for the restoration of various ecosystems.
With the European Green Deal, a new EU biodiversity strategy until 2030 was introduced, and it could change a lot: One of the measures mentioned there is a legislative proposal with binding restoration targets for nature. This was published on June 22, 2022.
Several EU committees have already voted against the proposed law. Next is the vote in the EU Parliament. This vote is crucial in moving towards a healthy planet for us and future generations.
However, there is a strong group of Members of the European Parliament (MEP) who are against this law. They stir up fears and spread false and misleading information. But we want to take the chance to change these politicians' minds by addressing them directly.
What you can do!
We have created a template letter that you can use to contact your MEPs directly. You can find their addresses under your respective country's flag.
The politicians who are against this law are mostly from the EPP group. Reaching them is very important, but we can also encourage politicians of other groups by sending them an email.
Feel free to adapt the text and let us know (empowement@plant-for-the-planet.org) who you wrote to and who answered you.
Together we fight for the EU Restoration Law!
