EU and UN unite to promote global biodiversity and green transition

EU countries' environment ministers have agreed to a landmark bill to restore deteriorating natural habitats, but only after watering down parts of the proposal and agreeing to find more EU funding to restore damaged environments. The EU proposal aims to turn around the ailing health of Europe's natural habitats, 81% of which are classed as in poor condition. However, the bill has sparked a fierce political debate, with EU lawmakers and some governments opposing the bill and questioning whether the EU is piling too much environmental regulation onto industry.
