Session 1

Nature Restoration and Biodiversity

La taxonomía europea de finanzas sostenibles es una nueva clasificación de las actividades económicas que contribuyen a los objetivos medioambientales de la Unión Europea, tales como mitigar y adaptarse al cambio climático.

What will we talk about in this session?

The Nature Restoration Act is a key pillar of the European Green Deal, which aims to achieve climate neutrality in Europe by 2050. The main goals for the European Green Deal are: reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, boost renewable energies, improve energy efficiency, promote a circular economy and protect biodiversity.

As the European Commission highlights, more than 50% of the global economy depends on natural resources, which are vital for sectors such as construction, agriculture, food and health. Moreover, biodiversity is essential for food security, as more than 75% of crops depend on pollinators. However, current agricultural practices are degrading the environment, being responsible for up to 80% of deforestation and 70% of freshwater consumption, threatening biodiversity.

The adoption of this law in the EU represents an investment in a sustainable and resilient future, aligned with climate and biodiversity objectives, and seeks to ensure a balance between productivity and environmental sustainability.
