As Member States are working on their National Restoration Plans, outlining the activities they intend to undertake to improve the condition of all habitat types, their successful implementation will only be possible through adequate funding. To support them in their planning, CEE Bankwatch Network and EuroNatur, in cooperation with national partners, led a study to calculate an appropriate cost estimate of their financing needs.

Description
The study focuses on four ecosystem types (coastal and inland wetlands; rivers, lakes and alluvial ecosystems; grasslands; forests and woodland) in five Member States (Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Hungary, Croatia), for the period 2024-2032.
The purpose of this hybrid event is to present the outcomes of this study paired with an analysis based on the latest developments in national planning, along with lessons learnt and proposed areas for improvement.
With the EU budget negotiations in full swing, through the presentation of national case studies, the input from experts and decision-makers, the audience will have the opportunity to understand the challenges related to biodiversity funding at national and EU levels.
Considering the importance of having healthy ecosystems to sustain livelihoods and tackle many challenges such as climate change, food security and sustaining robust and resilient economies, this event aims to highlight some crucial aspects of biodiversity financing to be considered at national and European levels for the implementation of the Nature Restoration Regulation.
Following the presentations, there will be an opportunity for the audience to ask questions and to network and exchange.
