Online-Workshop: Being serious about the no net land take target
No net land take (NNLT) by 2050 – this is the target set twelve years ago by the EU Commission. Recently, the Commission released a proposal for a Soil Monitoring and Resilience Law that requires Member States to monitor land take in their countries.
In our webinar, organized by UBA, we want to discuss solutions and innovative ideas by policymakers and scientists on how to achieve net zero.
No net land take by 2050 – this is the target set twelve years ago by the European Commission in the Road map for a resource efficient Europe. The Commission confirmed it two years ago in its Soil Strategy 2030. Recently, the Commission released a proposal for a Soil Monitoring and Resilience Law that requires Member States to monitor land take in their countries.
How do we get from monitoring land take to achieving net zero?
In our webinar, organized by the German Environment Agency, we want to discuss solutions and innovative ideas by policymakers and scientists.
