(7) The Communication of 17 September 2020 on Stepping up Europe’s 2030 climate ambition33 outlined an option to combine agriculture non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions with land use, land use change and forestry net removals, thus creating a newly regulated land sector. Such combination can promote synergies between land-based mitigation actions and enable more integrated policymaking and policy implementation at national and Union level. To this end, the obligation for Member States to submit integrated mitigation plans for the land sector should be reinforced. __________________ 33 COM(2020) 562 final.deleted

(8) The land sector has the potential to become rapidly climate-neutral by 2035 in a cost-effective manner, and subsequently generate more greenhouse gas removals than emissions. A collective commitment aiming to achieve climate- neutrality in the land sector in 2035 at EU level can provide the needed planning certainty to drive land-based mitigation action in the short term, considering that it can take many years for such action to deliver the desired mitigation outcomes. Moreover, the land sector is projected to become the largest sector in the EU greenhouse gas flux profile in 2050. It is therefore particularly important to anchor that sector to a trajectory that can effectively deliver net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. By mid-2024, the Member States should submit their updated integrated national energy and climate plans in accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council34 . The plans should include relevant measures by which each Member State best contributes to the collective target of climate neutrality in the land sector at EU level in 2035. On the basis of these plans, the Commission should propose national targets, ensuring that the Union-wide greenhouse gas emissions and removals in the land use, land use change and forestry sector and the emissions from the agriculture non-CO2 sectors are at least balanced by 2035. Contrary to the EU level target of climate neutrality for the land sector by 2035, such national targets will be binding and enforceable on each Member State. __________________ 34Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action, amending Regulations (EC) No 663/2009 and (EC) No 715/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Directives 94/22/EC, 98/70/EC, 2009/31/EC, 2009/73/EC, 2010/31/EU, 2012/27/EU and 2013/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Directives 2009/119/EC and (EU) 2015/652 and repealing Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 328, 21.12.2018, p.1).deleted

(10) In order to enhance greenhouse gas removals, individual farmers or forest managers need a direct incentive to store more carbon on their land and their forests. New business models based on carbon farming incentives and on the certification of carbon removals need to be increasingly deployed in the period until 2030. Such incentives and business models will enhance climate mitigation in the bio- economy, including through the use of durable harvested wood products, in full respect of ecological principles fostering biodiversity and the circular economy. ~~Hence, new categories of carbon storage products should be introduced in addition to the harvested wood products.~~ The emerging business models, farming and land management practices to enhance removals contribute to a balanced territorial development and economic growth in rural areas. They also create opportunities for new jobs and provide incentives for relevant training, reskilling and upskilling.

(10a) The interest of carbon storage in wood products is determined by the lifetime of these products, which can range from a few days for a leaflet, to decades or even hundreds of years for a wooden building. Although a wood product does represent a carbon stock, the actual benefit of harvesting a tree depends on the lifetime of the product produced, which must be compared to that of the wood in the ecosystem if the tree had not been cut down.

(10b) The benefit of using wood to replace competing energies or materials with higher carbon footprints is dependent on harvesting methods, transport and processing. Therefore, the overall climate benefit of harvesting wood for use as a material is limited.

Recital 10 c (new)

(10c) The use of wood energy to displace fossil fuels seems to be of questionable interest for achieving climate neutrality. Indeed, whether energy is produced from wood or a fossil fuel, combustion unlocks carbon and emits CO2. The CO2 emitted is not immediately recaptured. The ensuing carbon debt, according to the findings of the Joint Research Centre1a, can range from several decades to over a century, depending on the type of wood used. Moreover, increased harvesting for energy could have negative effects on soil fertility and biodiversity. There are thus significant tensions between biomass extraction and the ecosystem functions of forests. It is therefore impossible to consider the combustion of wood energy as climate neutral. __________________ 1aAgostini A., Giuntoli, J. & Boulamanti, A., 2013: Carbon accounting of forest bioenergy, JRC scientific and policy reports, EU 2014

(10d) Consequently, harvested wood products should not be regarded as a carbon sink equivalent to a fully functional forest ecosystem. Whilst wood products hold back emissions and can contribute to mitigation, the Commission needs to lay out sustainable harvesting criteria in order to ensure that the life cycle of harvested wood products do not significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852.

I~~ts Parties have agreed to hold the increase in the global average temperature well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts~~n its 2021 Report on the Physical Science Basis, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has underlined that most of widespread and rapid changes to Earth’s oceans, ice and land surface caused by global warming are irreversible on human timescales and that exceeding 2°C of global warming, will cause heat extremes to reach critical tolerance thresholds for agriculture and human health. Stabilizing the climate will require strong, rapid, and sustained reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, and reaching net zero CO2 emissions. By adopting the Glasgow Climate Pact, its Parties have recognized the urgency to act to limit the temperature increase to 1,5 °C above pre-industrial levels.

(1a) The Intergovernmental Science- Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystems Services (IPBES) Global Assessment on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services report clearly underlines the magnitude of the ecological crisis and the need for urgent and concerted efforts fostering transformative change, since nature is declining globally at rates unprecedented in human history, the rate of species extinctions is accelerating and around one million animal and plant species are threatened with extinction, which have grave impacts on people around the world and will affect the life of our future generations. The publication of the IPCC report on the ocean and cryosphere in a changing climate underlined that climate change is one of the main direct drivers of biodiversity loss and underlines that its negative effects on nature and biodiversity, ecosystem services, oceans and food security are projected to become increasingly significant in the decades to come.

(1a) According to the 2020 report on Biodiversity and Pandemics by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), the underlying causes of pandemics are the same global environmental changes that drive biodiversity loss and climate change, including land-use change, agricultural expansion and intensification and other drivers. Climate change has been implicated in disease emergence and will likely cause substantial future pandemic risk, whilst biodiversity loss is also associated with the transformation of landscapes and can lead to increased emerging disease risk in some cases. According to the report, the cost of inaction vastly outweighs the cost of implementing global strategies to prevent pandemics-based land-use change and other drivers.

(1d) The Union's actions and policies have so far been insufficient to halt the loss of biodiversity and achieve the 2020 Aichi Biodiversity Targets. In “The European environment —state and outlook 2020: knowledge for transition to a sustainable Europe”, the European Environment Agency notes that “Europe continues to lose biodiversity at an alarming rate and many agreed policy targets will not be achieved. Assessments of species and habitats protected under the Habitats Directive show predominantly unfavourable conservation status at 60 % for species and 77 % for habitats.”1a. A 2021 Joint Research Centre report shows that only 4.9 million hectares of Europe’s primary and ancient forests - essential for preserving biodiversity and mitigating climate change - remain, representing only 3% of the Union’s total forest area and 1.2% of the Union’s land mass.1b __________________ 1aEEA, "The European environment — state and outlook 2020", p. 74 1bBarredo, J., Brailescu, C., Teller, A., Sabatini, F.M., Mauri, A. and Janouskova, K., Mapping and assessment of primary and old-growth forests in Europe, EUR 30661 EN, Publications Office of the European Union, Luxembourg, 2021

(1e) Although tree cover is increasing, the Union’s forests’ capacity to remove carbon has been significantly declining since 2015 and this trend is set to continue. Until 2015, the Union land sector was able to remove around 7% of total EU emissions (about 300 million Mt- CO2 equivalent)1a. According to the European Environmental Agency (EEA)1b, by 2030 the same land area will be removing 40 per cent less CO2 equivalent (dropping to -185 Mt in 2030)1c. That recent decrease in carbon storage is partly due to an increase in harvesting. Furthermore, climate change could reduce the carbon storage potential of Europe’s forests by180 Mt CO2 annually in 2021 to 2030 due to disturbances and thus reduce the expected net forest sink by more than 50 %.1d __________________ 1a EEA Report No 6/2019 1b EEA, Total greenhouse gas emission trends and projections in Europe (https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and- maps/indicators/greenhouse-gas- emission-trends-6/assessment-3) 1cEEA, Total greenhouse gas emission trends and projections in Europe (https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and- maps/indicators/greenhouse-gas- emission-trends-6/assessment-3) 1d Seidl, R.; Schelhaas, M.-J.; Rammer, W.; Verkerk, P.

(6a) To achieve a negative balance of emissions in the LULUCF sector, emission sources must be simultaneously reduced, and carbon sinks maintained and significantly expanded. Maintaining and increasing natural carbon sinks requires a combination of several categories of measures to achieve the required sequestration potential in the different land categories covered by this Regulation. Such measures should focus on preserving, restoring and enhancing the ecosystem services specific to each land category in their diversity, enhancing biodiversity, and reducing vulnerability to natural disturbances and the effects of climate change.

(6b) Restoring natural biologically diverse forests is the cheapest, most effective, and most readily available way to ensure that the LULUCF sector sustainably contributes to the objective of achieving climate neutrality at the latest by 2050. Indeed, recent research has shown that natural regeneration can potentially absorb 40 times more carbon than plantations1a, and provide a home for more species. It is also significantly cheaper than tree planting, with different studies in Brazil showing costs reduced by 38%1b, or even up to 76%1c. Moreover, recent studies show that the absorption capacity of old-growth forest and mature forest has been severely underestimated. Furthermore, there is currently no evidence that natural forests are more vulnerable to climate change than planted forests. Several studies have demonstrated the resilience of natural forests to climate change and the better resilience of mixed stands compared with single-species stand. In addition to better carbon storage and resilience, biodiversity, water (filtration, flood control, reduced pollution), air (filtration, reduced pollution), and livelihoods are significantly improved when forests are restored. __________________ 1a https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.111 1/gcb.15498#gcb15498-bib-0102 1b https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.111 1/gcb.15498#gcb15498-bib-0117 1c https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.111 1/gcb.15498#gcb15498-bib-0041

Recital 6 c (new)

(6c) Afforestation and reforestation can be an effective way to reinforce the contribution of the LULUCF sector to the objective of achieving climate neutrality at the latest by 2050. There are several co- benefits associated with afforestation and reforestation: water filtration, increased availability of water, drought mitigation, flood control, avoided sedimentation, habitat for wildlife, increase of soil fauna, enhanced soil fertility and air filtration. However, afforestation and reforestation may also show trade-offs for biodiversity, e.g. on biodiverse grasslands. Besides, afforestation and reforestation need additional land and therefore may compete with other land uses such as agriculture. Additionally, as a mitigation option, afforestation and reforestation are less effective in boreal areas like in Scandinavia due to the albedo effect and it is essential to consider the natural vegetation type, to choose the tree species that offer all the aforementioned co- benefits. Hence, there should be a strict hierarchy whereas restoration of forest ecosystems is prioritized over reforestation and reforestation over afforestation.

(6d) Agroforestry integrates woody vegetation with crop and/or animal systems, creating carbon removals from the atmosphere and its sequestration into biomass and soil. In addition to carbon sequestration, agroforestry has important co-benefits for wildlife and biodiversity, improved soil health and protection from erosion, protection from nitrate leaching, and flooding. Silvo-pastoral systems can also improve animal welfare by providing shelter to livestock and reducing heat stress. It has positive adaptation benefits by improving the microclimate under rising temperatures, protection against erosion, and improved water balance. Moreover, with diversification of output, farms are less vulnerable to single crop failure.

(6e) Croplands and grasslands continue losing soil organic carbon. The choice of management practices that have the most significant potential for maintenance and sequestration of soil carbon varies according to climate and biophysical conditions as well as the production system involved. The largest potential is associated with: 1) cover cropping; 2) improved crop rotation; 3) agroforestry established on cropland or grassland; 4) preventing conversion of grassland to arable land and additional conversion from arable to grassland; 5) organic farming; 6) and management of grazing land and grassland to increase soil organic carbon levels. Maintaining and enhancing soil organic carbon stocks has important co-benefits by 1) improving the soil structure and soil fertility; 2) increasing the water retention capacity of soils and increasing their resilience to climate change; 3) reducing soil erosion and 4) reducing the soil compaction risk.

(6f) Wetlands are among the most effective carbon storage in the world because they can accumulate carbon stocks over a very long time period. They store about half of Europe’s total soil organic carbon. Therefore, reducing emissions from wetlands is one of the most effective measures to achieve climate neutrality. Beside their carbon storage potential, wetlands are of great importance for biodiversity conservation because they are essential habitats to many plants and animal species adapted to wet conditions.

(6g) Marine, coastal and freshwater ecosystems such as mangroves, salt marshes and seagrass meadows sequester carbon from the atmosphere and mainly in their sediments. Whilst there is only little knowledge about the current carbon stocks and sequestration rate of seagrasses and saltmarshes in the Union, some estimates consider that average carbon stock is very high compared to terrestrial ecosystems. Considering that the restoration potential of salt marshes and seagrasses is currently unknown in the Union, these ecosystems cannot be immediately covered by this Regulation and should be integrated only from 2031 onwards.

(7) The Communication of 17 September 2020 on Stepping up Europe’s 2030 climate ambition33 outlined an option to combine agriculture non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions with land use, land use change and forestry net removals, thus creating a newly regulated land sector. Such combination can promote synergies between land-based mitigation actions and enable more integrated policymaking and policy implementation at national and Union level. To this end, the obligation for Member States to submit integrated mitigation plans for the land sector should be reinforced. __________________ 33deleted COM(2020) 562 final.

(8) The land sector has the potential to become rapidly climate-neutral by 2035 in a cost-effective manner, and subsequently generate more greenhouse gas removals than emissions. A collective commitment aiming to achieve climate- neutrality in the land sector in 2035 at EU level can provide the needed planning certainty to drive land-based mitigation action in the short term, considering that it can take many years for such action to deliver the desired mitigation outcomes. Moreover, the land sector is projected to become the largest sector in the EU greenhouse gas flux profile in 2050. It is therefore particularly important to anchor that sector to a trajectory that can effectively deliver net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. By mid-2024, the Member States should submit their updated integrated national energy and climate plans in accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council34 . The plans should include relevant measures by which each Member State best contributes to the collective target of climate neutrality in the land sector at EU level in 2035. On the basis of these plans, the Commission should propose national targets, ensuring that the Union-wide greenhouse gas emissions and removals in the land use, land use change and forestry sector and the emissions from the agriculture non-CO2 sectors are at least balanced by 2035. Contrary to the EU level target of climate neutrality for the land sector by 2035, such national targets will be binding and enforceable on each Member State. __________________ 34Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action, amending Regulations (EC) No 663/2009 and (EC) No 715/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Directives 94/22/EC, 98/70/EC, 2009/31/EC, 2009/73/EC, 2010/31/EU, 2012/27/EU and 2013/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Directives 2009/119/EC and (EU) 2015/652 and repealing Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 328, 21.12.2018, p.1).deleted

(10) In order to enhance greenhouse gas removals, individual farmers or forest managers ~~need a direct~~should be allowed to benefit from incentives to store more carbon on their land and their forests. New business models based on carbon farming incentives and on the certification of carbon removals need to be increasingly deployed in the period until 2030. Such incentives and business models will enhance climate mitigation in the bio-economy, including through the use of durable harvested wood products, in full respect of ecological principles fostering biodiversity and the circular economy. Hence, new categories of carbon storage products should be introduced in addition to the harvested wood products. The emerging business models, farming and land management practices to enhance removals contribute to a balanced territorial development and economic growth in rural areas. They also create opportunities for new jobs and provide incentives for relevant training, reskilling and upskillingengage in the restoration of forest carbon stocks, expansion of agroforestry coverage, soil carbon sequestration and restoration of wetlands, as a way to enhance current levels of biodiversity and ecosystem resilience. Public funding under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and other EU programmes – LIFE, the Cohesion Funds, Horizon Europe, the Recovery and Resilience Fund, the Just Transition Fund – can already support such endeavours and should be increased..

(10a) The interest of carbon storage in wood products is determined by the lifespan of these products, which can range from a few days for a leaflet, to decades or even hundreds of years for a wooden building. Although a wood product does represent a carbon stock, the actual benefit of harvesting a tree depends on the lifespan of the product produced, which must be compared to that of the wood in the ecosystem if the tree had not been cut down.

(10b) The benefit of using wood to replace competing energies or materials with higher carbon footprints is dependent on harvesting methods, transport and processing. Therefore, the overall climate benefit of harvesting wood for use as a material is limited.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 10 c (new)

(10c) The use of wood energy to displace fossil fuels seems to be of questionable interest for achieving climate neutrality. Indeed, whether energy is produced from wood or a fossil fuel, combustion unlocks carbon and emits CO2. The CO2 emitted is not immediately recaptured. The ensuing carbon debt, according to the findings of the Joint Research Centre1a, can range from several decades to over a century, depending on the type of wood used. Moreover, increased harvesting for energy could have negative effects on soil fertility and biodiversity. There are thus significant tensions between biomass extraction and the ecosystem functions of forests and it is therefore impossible to consider the combustion of wood energy as climate neutral. __________________ 1aAgostini A., Giuntoli, J. & Boulamanti, A., 2013: Carbon accounting of forest bioenergy, JRC scientific and policy reports, EU 2014

(10d) Consequently, harvested wood products should not be regarded as a carbon sink equivalent to a fully functional forest ecosystem. Whilst wood products hold back emissions and can contribute to mitigation, the Commission needs to lay out sustainable harvesting criteria in order to ensure that the life cycle of harvested wood products do not cause significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852.

These measures shall be duly reasoned and substantiated. They shall in particular set out the following elements: (a) an explanation of how they enforce the implementation of existing measures to prevent the conversion of forest land, cropland and grassland to settlements or infrastructures by reducing the rates of soil sealing and enforcing environmental legislation, in particular Council Directive 92/43/EEC1a and Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council1b; (b) an explanation of how they manage and reduce pressure from consumption on forest land, cropland and grassland in order to reduce intensity of land use and biomass extraction; (c) a qualitative explanation of how they are expected to increase forest land areas, support restoration of forest carbon stocks, and conserve carbon in wetlands; (d) a detailed explanation of how native tree species are adapted to site conditions for afforestation, reforestation and restoration of forest land are being favoured; (e) a qualitative explanation of how they prioritize the protection and restoration of biodiversity over land use conversion; (f) a qualitative explanation of how they prioritize the removal of pressures from resource and land use over active ecosystem restoration. If a Member State fails to meet its annual target as set out in Article 4(3) for two consecutive years, it shall amend its National Energy and Climate Plan and Long-term Strategy and adopt additional measures to enhance the protection of existing natural carbon sinks and reduce pressures on land use and demand for land, in a way that enhances current levels of biodiversity and ecosystem resilience. Such amendment shall be completed within six months of the second year in which the Member State concerned failed to meet its annual target. The Commission may issue recommendations identifying how the National Energy and Climate Plans and the Long-term Strategy of the Member State concerned should be revised. The Commission shall make such recommendations publicly available. The Member State concerned shall notify the revised National Energy and Climate Plan and Long-term Strategy pursuant to paragraph 1 to the Commission accompanied by a statement setting out how the proposed revision will remedy non-compliance with the annual targets, and how the Commission’s recommendations have been taken into account. Where the Commission finds that the revised National Energy and Climate Plan or the Long-term Strategy have been insufficiently amended to meet the annual targets of the Member State concerned, the Commission may open an infringement procedure in accordance with the TEU and TFEU. ______________ 1aCouncil Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (OJ L 206, 22.7.1992, p. 7). 1bDirective 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2000 establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy (OJ L 327, 22.12.2000, p. 1).
