Keynote speeches from IUCN, Estonia, the European Commission and WWF set the scene, and were followed by an animated discussion among participants.
“The EU needs to not only show ambition in the global debate towards the protection of biodiversity in the future, but also show that it is leading by example by fully implementing the EU nature policies,” said Luc Bas, Director of the IUCN Office in Brussels.
