This event was co-hosted by MEP Pascal Canfin (RENEW), Chair of the European Parliament’s Environment, Public Health and Food Safety Committee(ENVI) and MEP César Luena (S&D), Rapporteur of the EU Nature Restoration Law and took place in the European Parliament in Brussels. Businesses are aware of their role in supporting the transition towards a resilient net-zero economy and an equitable, nature-positive future.
