Webinar: LET IT FLOW – REMOVE BARRIERS, RESTORE RIVER ECOSYSTEMS
July 2, 2021

In April this year, Professor Carlos Garcia de Leaniz represented the AMBER project at the European Commission’s Workshop on developing EU Restoration Targets. In the first Consultation Workshop held in February 2021, the AMBER Barrier Atlas was noted as an essential tool to help the formulation of targets and the Member States to determine priority river basins and water bodies.

The aim of the April workshop was to present the state of play of the EU initiative, discuss possible approaches and obtain views from authorities, stakeholders, and experts in the Member States. The European Commission will put forward a proposal for legally binding EU nature restoration targets in 2021, a key element of the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030.
