Question for written answer E-002442/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
César Luena (S&D)
The planetary crisis that we face today is not just due to climate change, but also to the alarming loss of biodiversity and the degradation of ecosystems that are essential to life. In this context, the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) officially dedicates 37 % of funding to the green transition, although Member States have exceeded this target, dedicating an average of 42 % of expenditure to climate goals.
However, while the RRF’s green transition pillar also covers other aspects related to biodiversity and the environment, the current monitoring system only tracks climate-related actions.
In light of this:
- 1.How will the Commission improve the monitoring system to more effectively track biodiversity and environmental measures under the RRF?
- 2.What specific steps will the Commission take to ensure that future financial instruments fairly and comprehensively address both climate action and environmental conservation?
- 3.How will the Commission ensure compliance with the principles of good government and efficient management of funds for biodiversity?
