The European Union issues secondary legislation on environmental issues that are valid throughout the EU (so‐called regulations) and many directives that must be implemented into national legislation from the 28 member states (national states). Examples are the Regulation (EC) No. 338/97 on the implementation of CITES; or the Natura 2000 network the centerpiece for nature and biodiversity policy, encompassing the bird directive (79/409/EEC/ changed to 2009/147/EC) and the habitats directive (92/43/EEC), which are made up of multiple SACs (Special Areas of Conservation, linked to the habitats directive) and SPAs (Special Protected Areas, linked to the bird directive) throughout Europe.

 Climate change
