D
The Food and Agriculture Organization
Explanation
The Nature Restoration Law is a European Union regulation, adopted in 2024, that requires member states to put restoration measures in place on at least 20% of the EU's land and sea areas by 2030, and on all ecosystems that need restoration by 2050, to tackle biodiversity loss and climate change. The World Bank, OECD and FAO do not enact binding laws of this kind.
