Yesterday afternoon, President von der Leyen gave a speech at the closing session of the EU Green Week 2020.
“Biodiversity is at the heart of [our] future and the future of our planet. There is no choice between nature on the one hand and the economy on the other. What is good for nature is
good for the economy. Climate change and biodiversity loss are happening before our eyes. They amplify each other. The need to act has never been clearer. This is what is driving me as President of
the European Commission.
