Webinar: How Green Deal Call Projects contributed to the Nature Restoration Law

This webinar explores the role of projects for policy-making by showcasing the contribution of the projects SUPERB, MERLIN, REST-COAST, and WaterLANDS to the development and implementation of the Nature Restoration Law. This way, speakers will provide other EU-funded projects the opportunity to get an insight into how projects can concretely contribute to the policy making process, what challenges should be addressed on the way, and what might be the best drivers to facilitate the process.
