With the EU Nature Restoration Law (NRL) adopted by the European Council on 17th June 2024, the Irish Environmental Network and Natural Capital Ireland felt it is timely to grapple with the ‘how-tos’ of financing the implementation of Ireland’s National Restoration Plan (NRP), which is being formulated by Ireland’s National Parks and Wildlife Service.
Natural Capital Ireland was commissioned by the Irish Environmental Network to deliver a report on high-level recommendations for funding nature restoration in Ireland. This project brought together a diverse group of subject matter experts from academia, business, environmental NGOs, farming, government departments, and semi-state bodies to workshop high-level recommendations for funding nature restoration, which are set out in this report.
