The conference will discuss opportunities and challenges for the ambitious EC proposal on binding restoration targets. The proposal, unveiled on 22 June 2022, aims at putting in place time-bound obligations for ecosystem restoration together with an overarching EU target. The aim is to cover at least 20% of the EU’s land and sea areas by 2030 with nature restoration measures, and eventually extend these to all ecosystems in need of restoration by 2050.

Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), European Commission officials and relevant stakeholders will provide their views on the proposal, which is one of the key tools shaped by the European Commission to tackle the current biodiversity crisis. The debate will also focus on the role of stakeholders, including farmers, land managers and hunters, whose contribution is key to develop successful conservation measures.
