ROma, 25 Jul. (askanews) – Nature Restoration Law, the European regulation on the restoration of natural environments was at the center of the Conference “Restoration Law. As opportunities for environmental protection and sustainable development”. The initiative was presented through the volume “Restoration of nature and territorial regeneration“, Illustrated in preview of institutions and experts in the sector at Palazzo Ringiglosi in Rome.
Approved in June 2024, “The Regulation” aims to contribute to a continuous and lasting recovery of biodiversity and resilience of nature in all terrestrial and marine areas of the European Union and Uno – Man, Nature, Environment Foundation – and AB – AGRIVENATORY BIODIVERSITALIA – have promoted comparison tables on the topic. The goal, as suggested by Francesco de Leonardis, Prof. Ord. Administrative law, University of Rome Tre, is to find a shared interpretation for the application of the regulation.
“First of all, Europe intervened for the first time on these issues with a 2024 regulation asking all European states to prepare a series of policies to try to solve in some way what we could call the collapse of the planet”.
Setting a methodology for the correct application and establishing a constructive dialogue between institutions and jurists were the theme of discussions, where I was the protagonist, together with several teachers of the Italian University, the Minister of the Environment and Energy Safety Gilberto Pichetto Fratin. In the political table, space also to the president of Fondazione Uno, Maurizio Zipponi, who explains the objectives of the conference.
“The importance of today’s initiative and the presentation of this book in which the best Italian jurists and Italian scientists intervene is the aim of ensuring that the theme of restoration is a concerted theme, that is, the result of an action of different worlds of which Fondazione Uno is part”.
The regulation establishes as mandatory objectives, the restoration of at least 20% of natural ecosystems by 2030 and of all ecosystems that need intervention by 2050through the implementation of national restoration plans by the Member States. The president of AB, Niccolò Sacchetti, underlines how the Nature Restoration Law is a paradigm change towards the active restoration of nature.
“The Nature Restoration Law is a regulation that will certainly have a great impact especially on those who have as its main activity the conservation of nature, the territory, biodiversity and the ecosystem that we have always carried out and therefore is our fundamental role to highlight this regulation and supervise that the regulation in our country is implemented in the best manners without distortions as happened in many years in the past”.
The event of Palazzo Rospigliosi is part of the broader project of the Uno Foundation and AB to ensure continuity of reflection and in -depth analysis on the methods of reconciliation between man and the environment, already started last year with the comparison tables relating to the reform of article 9 of the Constitution on the protection of animals and biodiversity.
