The Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry Regulation covers emissions and removals from land, plants and other biomass. The land sector plays a key role in achieving the EU's goal of climate neutrality, as well as in building a sustainable bioeconomy. It has the potential to provide long-term climate benefits, but also offers other vital services to society, such as biological materials, food and ecosystem services.<\/p>\n
The revised regulation brought an extended target to increase EU net removals by an additional 42 million tonnes of CO\u2082 equivalent (Mt CO\u2082 equivalent) by 2030 compared to the annual average for the period 2016-2018. This will lead to an overall net EU-level sink of -310 Mt CO\u2082 -eq. The target is distributed in a way that requires each member state to raise its climate ambitions in its land use policies.<\/p>\n
Under the new regulation, member states are required to gradually achieve better reporting accuracy in line with more advanced methods in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) guidelines and use new monitoring technologies.<\/p>\n
Carbon sequestration in the EU has been declining over the past decade and, based on NECP proposals, the EU is currently not on track to meet its 2030 net emissions reduction target, falling some 50 million tonnes CO\u2082-eq behind. It is essential to reverse this negative trend and increase the resilience of the EU soil sector by introducing appropriate policies to ensure stable, resilient and long-term natural carbon sinks, thereby supporting the goal of a climate-neutral sustainable bioeconomy.<\/p>\n
The Commission will start an evaluation process in 2024 to assess the regulation against "better regulation" principles such as effectiveness, efficiency and consistency with other land sector policies. The European Commission and the European Environmental Agency also published today\u00a0the LULUCF handbook<\/u><\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>to support member states in designing and implementing their policies in the area of the land sector.
