📊 In a survey across six EU member states, citizens were asked about their level of agreement with the adoption of the Nature Restoration Law:

◼ In Italy, 85% of respondents indicated support.
◼ Poland followed with 72%.
◼ Finland agreed at 70%.
◼ Both Sweden and The Netherlands showed agreement from 69% of respondents.

A few months before, similar surveys were conducted in Austria and Belgium, two countries abstaining from previous votes on the Nature Restoration Law showed that in #Austria, 77% of the population wants nature to be consistently protected and restored, with almost three-quarters of those surveyed specifically calling for “binding goals” to restore nature. In #Belgium, 82% of people are strongly in favour of more nature restoration and over 84% believe that Belgian governments should make more.

🌿 Despite the notable support of the population, the governments of these member states stand against the Nature Restoration Law. It’s crucial to push for a change in their stance, not just to #RestoreNature but also to address the calls from their citizens demanding environmental reconstruction measures.

✉ The survey results support a powerful letter signed by 11 environment ministers, urging their counterparts to adopt the law at the upcoming Environment Council meeting on 17 June.
