The European Commission (not Environment Commission) plays a crucial role in guiding EU policies and initiatives for environmental protection and promoting nature-based solutions. It oversees the development and implementation of policies to protect Europe’s environment, biodiversity, and ecosystems.

The Commission also promotes nature-based solutions as effective tools for tackling environmental challenges. Additionally, it ensures consistency between EU environmental policies and other sectors like agriculture, energy, and transport. Finally, the Commission represents the EU in international forums on environmental protection.
