#NatureRestorationRegulation requires that Member States ensure no net loss in the total area of urban green space and urban tree canopy cover, and achieve increasing trends from 2031. This aligns with the need to enhance pollinator populations and diversity across ecosystems.
🚀 Happening now: BioAgora SPI Dialogue Workshop in Ghent!
Over the next 2 days we’ll explore how science, policy, & practice can join forces to make the #NatureRestorationRegulation a reality - focusing on #freshwater ecosystems and #WaterResilience💧.
📻Stay tuned for updates!
#Science4Biodiversity
Save the date! This policy-focused event aims to share insights and lessons from large-scale freshwater and wetland restoration projects, linked to the #EUGreenDeal and the #NatureRestorationRegulation.

Organised by MERLIN, WaterLANDS, SpongeScapes & SpongeWorks.
FutureLakes is building on the ideas and experiences of MERLIN. Together, the two projects are demonstrating how to successfully restore the biodiversity of rivers, lakes, and wetlands, enhance resilience to floods and droughts, and support Europe’s #NatureRestorationRegulation.
Four major EU-funded projects jointly published insights into the development of #NatureRestorationPlans under the #NatureRestorationRegulation. op.europa.eu/en/publicati... @merlin-project.bsky.social, @waterlandsh2020.bsky.social
