Q1. Which organization has enacted the Nature Restoration Law (NRL) to tackle climate change and biodiversity loss?
Explanation
The European Union has introduced the Nature Restoration Law (NRL) to address climate change and the loss of biodiversity. This law requires member countries to meet specific targets for restoring damaged ecosystems on both land and sea, forming a central part of the EU’s environmental strategy. Its goal is to rejuvenate nature throughout Europe, benefiting wildlife, the climate, and communities. If properly enforced, the law could have a transformative impact. It is now essential for both the European Parliament and EU member nations to approve and promptly implement the legislation.
Exam tip:
The word "enacted" implies legislative authority -- only bodies with law-making power can do this. Only the EU has the jurisdiction and institutional setup to actually enact a law like the Nature Restoration Law (NRL).
