MERLIN Podcast EP.10 – Restoring Europe’s landscapes through the Green Deal and Nature Restoration Law
In this podcast MERLIN takes a behind-the-scenes look at environmental restoration in Europe on the cusp of what will likely prove to be a transformative year. First learn about the EU’s big environmental policy, the Green Deal, and then about the ambitious new Nature Restoration Law adopted last year. Listeners then hear from four EU restoration projects about the challenges of planning, financing and carrying out restoration on freshwaters, forests, wetlands and coastlines across the continent.
Merlin Podcast host Rob St John speaks to Colombe Warin from the European Commission, Shane McGuinness from WaterLANDS, Agustín Sánchez-Arcilla from REST-COAST, Elisabeth Schatzdorfer from SUPERB and Sebastian Birk from MERLIN to get the inside story on restoring Europe's landscapes.
Four key themes emerge around contemporary restoration in Europe: the use of nature-based solutions; the importance of bringing communities and stakeholders together; the challenges of financing ambitious restoration projects; and the need to upscale restoration activities from individual sites to entire landscapes and watersheds.
