Part 2 / Implementing the NRR: technical and legal challenges for NRPs across Europe

Coordinators: Eleonora Ciscato, Jordi Cortina-Segarra, Kris Decleer, Francesca Leucci (Part 2 of Session 9.1) Description: The adoption of the Nature Restoration Regulation in the EU, mandating the development of National Restoration Plans (NRPs) by the Member States, poses complex challenges for the multi-level governance of nature restoration due to competing interests and unclear priorities in the law. This panel aims to pursue a twofold goal: tackle the uncertainties regarding the preparation of NRPs and favour their alignment with international standards for ecological restoration practices; examine the intricate interplay between the Regulation and the existing legislation, such as the Renewable Energy Directive, the Common Agricultural Policy, the LULUCF, the Critical Raw Materials Act, the Habitats Directive, national pollution and land use laws. To achieve these goals, we invite contributions from ecological scholars that scrutinize the current state of NRP development in various member states and engage in discussions concerning the primary challenges encountered in this process. Papers should aim at analyzing existing technical and information gaps, fostering exchange among practitioners and enhancing the experts' capacity to influence NRP developments. Moreover, we welcome contributions of legal scholars who aim to investigate the synergies and conflicts between NRPs implementations and various sectoral policies (particularly energy, agriculture, forestry, transport, urban development, etc.). We also invite analyses of the role of different institutions (public authorities, private bodies, civil society and hybrid organizations) in streamlining procedures to implement restoration plans and strategies, including comparisons with other regions of the world. The discussion is aimed at developing concrete recommendations to implement the Nature Restoration Regulation in a timely, ecological and just manner at different institutional levels.
