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.
The gradual introduction of CBAM is in line with the phasing out of the allocation of free allowances under the Community Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) established under Directive 2003/87/EC to support the decarbonisation of the EU industry.
