  • The
    members of the ENVE commission adopted two draft opinions:
    • ​Bio-diverse cities and regions beyond 2020 at the UN CBD COP 15 and in the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030. The rapporteur Roby BIWER (LU/PES), Member of Bettembourg Municipal Council, said:"We might find a vaccine for Covid-19, but there is no cure for healing our planet's dramatic biodiversity loss. Restored and preserved ecosystems are essential for our own health and destiny. With a bold 2030 Strategy, the European Union could help local and regional authorities act by giving them appropriate tools and sufficient resources to restore biodiversity and make it the motor of Europe's sustainable recovery". Roby Biwer will represent the CoR at the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP15) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in May 2021 to defend a coordinated and bold global action that formally recognises the role of cities and regions in protecting and restoring biodiversity. You can read here our latest interview with Roby Biwer, which opinion is to be adopted at the CoR's next plenary session in October 2020.
    • New Circular Economy Action Plan. The rapporteur Tjisse STELPSTRA (NL/ECR), Member of the Council of the Province of Drenthe, said:“We can't afford any more excuses. It is time to accelerate the circular economy and set concrete goals. The COVID-19 makes our vulnerability and dependence on raw materials painfully clear. We do not want to talk about waste anymore; re-use must become the standard! A European Raw Materials Policy is desperately needed for this. Not only to gain insight into material flows, but also to ensure that all regions have fair access to those scarce but indispensable raw materials".The opinion is to be adopted at the October 2020 plenary session. You can read hereour latest interview with Tjisse Stelpstra.​
