On Climate & Law: EU’s Nature Restoration Regulation with Ioannis Agapakis (ClientEarth)

In this episode of "On Climate and Law" we talk about the European Union's Nature Restoration Regulation with Ioannis, a lawyer in ClientEarth’s “A Thriving Planet – Protected Wildlife and Habitats” group. 

On Climate & Law is a podcast to discuss the legal sphere to implement stronger policies in fighting climate change with a resulting collaboration between Rethinking Climate and Youth and Environment Europe to promote clarity on this topic.

Ioannis Agapakis is a lawyer in ClientEarth’s “A Thriving Planet – Protected Wildlife and Habitats” group. Among other topics, he is working on the EU’s upcoming Nature Restoration Regulation and its relationship to existing EU sectoral legislation. He is also working on the implementation of the recently adopted Kunming Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, with a focus on transparency and rights-based conservation. He is admitted to the Greek bar and holds an LLM on Public International and Environmental Law from the University of Utrecht.

This episode was hosted by Sophia, a student in International Forestry who recently joined YEE as one of their Liaison Officers on Biodiversity.  In this context, she got involved in the #RestoreNature campaign to push for an ambitious Nature Restoration Law.
