Recital 1
(1) The Paris Agreement, adopted in December 2015 under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) entered into force in November 2016 (“the Paris Agreement”). Its Parties have agreed to hold the increase in the global average temperature well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1,5 °C above pre-industrial levelsn its 2018 Special Report on the impacts of global warming of 1,5°C above pre- industrial levels, in its 2019 Special Reports on Climate Change and Land and on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate, and in its 2021 Report on the Physical Science Basis, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) provided the latest scientific evidence on the impacts of climate change and illustrated the need to urgently reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in all sectors of the economy and to reverse the degradation of carbon sinks in order to limit global warming to 1,5°C. By adopting the Glasgow Climate Pact, its Parties recognised that limiting the increase in the global average temperature to 1,5 °C above pre-industrial levels would significantly reduce the risks and impacts of climate change and committed to strengthening their 2030 targets by the end of 2022 to close the ambition gap.

(1a) In its 2019 Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, the Intergovernmental Science- Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystems Services (IPBES) provided the latest scientific evidence on the on- going worldwide erosion of biodiversity, and stressed in particular that climate change is the third most important driver of biodiversity loss. The co-sponsored IPBES-IPCC workshop report on biodiversity and climate change of 10 June 20211a also highlighted that previous policies have largely tackled the problems of climate change and biodiversity loss independently, and called for policies that simultaneously address synergies between mitigating biodiversity loss and climate change, while also considering their societal impacts, in order to offer the opportunity to maximize co-benefits and help meet development aspirations for all. __________________ 1aIPBES-IPCC co-sponsored workshop report on biodiversity and climate change, 10 June 2021.

(2) Taking a holistic approach to tackling climate and environmental-related challenges and reaching the objectives of the Paris Agreement while living up to the green oath to 'do no harm' to other environmental objectives of the Union are at the core of the Communication on ’The European Green Deal’, adopted by the Commission on 11 December 201928 . The necessity and value of the European Green Deal and of its holistic approach have only grown in light of the very severe effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the health and economic well-being of the Union’s citizens. __________________ 28 COM(2019)640 finalIt is therefore necessary to complement the accounting of greenhouse gas emissions and removals from the land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) sector by introducing an obligation to do no significant harm to other environmental objectives, in particular to the Union’s biodiversity objectives as set out in the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and in the relevant Union legal acts, within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council28a. __________________ 28 COM(2019)640 final. 28aRegulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2020 on the establishment of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment, and amending Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 (OJ L 198, 22.6.2020, p. 13).

Recital 4
(4) In Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 of the European Parliament and of the Council30 , the Union has enshrined the target of economy-wide climate neutrality by 2050achieving an economy-wide balance between anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gas emissions within the Union by 2050 at the latest in legislation. That Regulation also establishes a binding Union commitment to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions (emissions after deduction of removals) by at least 55 % below 1990 levels by 2030. All sectors of the economy are expected to contribute to achieving that target, including the land use, land use change and forestry sector. The contribution of net removals to the 2030 Union climate target is limited to 225 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent. In the context of Regulation (EU) 2021/1119, the Commission reaffirmed in a corresponding statement its intention to propose a revision of Regulation (EU) 2018/841 of the European Parliament and of the Council31 , in line with the ambition to increase net carbon removals to levels above 300 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent in the land use, land use change and forestry sector by 2030When implementing the 2030 Union climate target, the relevant Union institutions and Member States also committed to prioritising swift and predictable emission reductions and, at the same time, enhancing removals by natural sinks. In order to ensure that sufficient mitigation efforts are deployed by emitting sectors until 2030, the contribution of net removals to the 2030 Union climate target has been limited to 225 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent, without prejudice to the objective of enhancing its net carbon sinks beyond that level in 2030 in view of achieving climate - neutrality by 2050 at the latest. __________________ 30Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 June 2021 establishing the framework for achieving climate neutrality and amending Regulations (EC) No 401/2009 and (EU) 2018/1999 (‘European Climate Law’) (OJ L 243, 9.7.2021, p. 1).’. 31 Regulation (EU) 2018/841 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 on the inclusion of greenhouse gas emissions and removals from land use, land use change and forestry in the 2030 climate and energy framework, and amending Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 and Decision No 529/2013/EU (OJ L 156, 19.6.2018, p. 1).

(5) In order to contribute to the increased ambition to reduce greenhouse gas net emissions from at least 40 % to at least 55 % below 1990 levelsensure that the LULUCF sector makes a sustainable and predictable long-term contribution to the Union climate neutrality objective, binding annual targets for net greenhouse gas removals should be set out for each Member State in the land use, land use change and forestry sector inLULUCF sector in the period up to at least 2050, starting with the period from 2026 to 2030 (in analogy to the annual emission allocations set out in Regulation (EU) 2018/842 of the European Parliament and of the Council32 ), resulting in a target of 310n intermediary target of at least 424 millions of tonnes CO2 equivalent of net removals for the Union as a whole in 2030. The methodology used to establish the national targets for 2030 should take into account the average greenhouse gas emissions and removals from the years 2016, 2017 and 2018, reported by each Member State, and reflect the current mitigation performance of the land use, land use change and forestry sector, and each Member State’s share of the managed land area in the Union, taking into account the capacity of that Member State to improve its performance in the sector via land management practices or changes in land use that benefit the climate and biodiversity. __________________ 32Regulation (EU) 2018/842 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 on binding annual greenhouse gas emission reductions by Member States from 2021 to 2030 contributing to climate action to meet commitments under the Paris Agreement and amending Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 (OJ L 156, 19.6.2018, p. 26).

(6) The binding annual targets for net greenhouse gas removals should be determined for each Member State by a linear trajectory. The trajectory should start in 2022, on the average of greenhouse gas emissions reported by that Member State during 2021, 2022 and 2023 and end in 2030 on the target set out for that Member State. For Member States that improve their methodology of calculating the emissions and removals, a concept of technical correction should be introduced, subject to independent scientific review. A technical correction should be added to the target of that Member State corresponding to the effect of the change inimproved accuracy in the methodology used on the targets and the efforts of the Member State to achieve them, in order to respect environmental integrity.

(7) The Communication of 17 September 2020 on Stepping up Europe’s 2030 climate ambition33 outlined andifferent pathways and policy options 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 implementreach the Union's increased 2030 climate target. It stressed that reaching climate neutrality will require Union action to be significantly stepped up in all sectors of the economy. Progress in one sector cannot compensate for the lack of progress in other sectors. Moreover, removals of greenhouse gases by natural carbon sinks are fragile and potentially reversible, which leads to increased uncertainty in measuring emissions and removals in the land sector compared to other sectors. The risk of reversal of removals by natural carbon sinks is further aggravated by climate change. Climate science also shows that the climate response to emissions and removals is asymmetrical, meaning thati on at national and Union level. To this end, the obligation for Member States to submit integrated mitigation plans for the land sector should be reinforcede tonne of greenhouse gases emitted to the atmosphere cannot be compared to one tonne of greenhouse gases removed33a. Therefore, the objective of enhancing removals by natural carbon sinks should be pursued strictly separately from the objective of rapidly and drastically reducing greenhouse gas emissions from other sectors, including non-CO2 agricultural emissions. __________________ 33 COM(2020) 562 final.

(8) The landLULUCF 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 aimsubstantially increase the amount of net-removals in a cost-effective manner both in the short and longer term while taking into 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 takcount the specificities, opportunities and challenges of the land use, land use change 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 trajectoryd forestry sector in each Member State. However, realising such potential requires a clear vision to be set out and concrete action to be stepped up already over the coming decade, otherwise thate chan effectively deliver net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050ges required after 2030 would have to happen unrealistically fast. 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 collobjective 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 thatof ensuring a sustainable and predictable long-term contribution of natural carbon sinks to the Union’s climate neutrality objective by 2050 at the latest. On the basis of these plans, and after taking into account the advice of the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change and the Union-wide greenhouse gas emissions and removals in the land use, land use change and forestry sector andbudget set out in Regulation (EU) 2021/1119, the eCommissions from the agriculture non- CO2 sectors are at least balanced by 2035. Contrary to the EU level target of climate neutrality for the land should propose Union and Member States targets for net greenhouse gas removals from the LULUCF sector byfor 2035, s2040, 2045 and 2050. 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).

(8a) Forests in particular are hugely important for biodiversity, soil stabilisation, the purification of air and water, carbon sequestration and storage, and the provision of sustainably sourced long-lived wood products. The forests in the Union are home to around 80% of Union terrestrial biodiversity, but intensive forestry activities are the second largest reported pressure category for species. National reporting under Article 17 of the Habitats Directive also shows that forestry activities have sometimes been at the expense of habitat types of other natural ecosystems that are important for both climate mitigation and biodiversity, notably peatlands. Many forest-dependent species are negatively affected by the removal of dead, dying and old trees1a, the reduction of old-growth forests and certain forest management methods such as clear-cutting. The Communication of the Commission of 16 July 2021 on the New EU Forest Strategy for 2030 set out a vision and specific actions to improve the quantity and quality of forests in the Union and strengthen their protection, restoration and resilience. It highlighted the urgent need for adaptive forest restoration and ecosystem-based management approaches that strengthen the resilience of forests in the Union in light of the climate and biodiversity crises. As such, the Strategy contributes both to the Union’s biodiversity and climate objectives. __________________ 1aReport from the Commission of 15 October 2020 entitled ‘The state of nature in the European Union – Report on the status and trends in 2013–2018 of species and habitat types protected by the Birds and Habitats Directives’ (COM(2020)0635).

(8b) Cropland, grassland and wetlands are currently net emitters of greenhouse gases in the Union, but have the potential to become a source of net removals of greenhouse gases, in particular through the upscaling of agroforestry, organic farming, and the restoration of wetlands, including peatlands. The protection and restoration of species-rich grasslands and wetlands are also necessary to fulfil the objectives of the Biodiversity Strategy, but may be undermined by inappropriate land-use changes, underscoring the importance of addressing the problems of climate change and biodiversity loss in a synergistic way.

(10) The increased level of ambition in the land-use and forestry sector will have social, labour and economic impacts. It is therefore important to ensure a just transition of the land-use and forestry sector to become more sustainable, with the full involvement of social partners and relevant civil society organisations in both the planning and implementation phases, benefitting forest and land managers, famers, workers, the environment and society more widely. In order to enhance greenhouse gas removals, individual farmers or forest managers need a directcould 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 while ensuring the protection of biodiversity and other societal co-benefits, through the promotion of ecosystem-based approaches and biodiversity-friendly practices. Public funding under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and other EU programs– LIFE, the Cohesion Funds, Horizon Europe, the Recovery and Resilience Fund, the Just Transition Fund – can already support ecosystem-based approaches in forests and agricultural lands and should be increased. Such incentives should also enhance climate mitigation in a fully circular and sustainably sourced bio-economy, including through the use of durable harvested wood products, in full respect of ecological principles fostering biodiversity. They, as well as large-scale nature restauration initiatives, also create opportunities for new jobs and provide incentives for relevant training, reskilling addition to the harvested wood products. The emerging business models,nd upskilling. Inline with the increased ambition in the LULUCF sector, additional public support should be provided to individual farmingers and landforest management practices to enhance removals contribute to a balanced trs for implementing ecosystem- based approaches and biodiverrsitorial development and economic growth in rural areas. They also create opportunities for new jobs and provide incentives for relevant training, reskilling and upskilling. y- friendly practices on their land according to common rules provided by the Commission.

Annex VIII (new)
The following Annex VIII (new) to Regulation (EU) 2018/841 is inserted: Annex VIII (new) Information requirements for the application of the natural disturbances solidarity mechanism 1. For the calculation of the background level, the following information shall be provided: (a) historical levels of emissions caused by natural disturbances; (b) the type(s) of natural disturbance included in the estimation; (c) total annual emissions estimations for those natural disturbance types for the period from 2006 to 2025, listed by land accounting categories; (d) a demonstration of the time series consistency in all relevant parameters, including minimum area, emission estimation methodologies, coverages of carbon pools and gases. 2. The background level is calculated as the average of the 2006-2025 time series excluding all years for which abnormal levels of emissions were recorded, i.e. excluding all statistical outliers. The identification of statistical outliers shall be undertaken as follows: (a) calculate the arithmetic average value and the standard deviation of the full time series 2006-2025; (b) exclude from the time series all years for which the annual emissions are outside twice the standard deviation around the average; (c) calculate again the arithmetic average value and the standard deviation of the time series 2006-2025 minus the years excluded in point (b); (d) repeat points (b) and (c) until no outliers can be identified. 3. After calculating the background level pursuant to point 2 of this Annex, if emissions in a particular year in the periods from 2026 to 2030 exceed the background level plus a margin, the amount of emissions exceeding the background level may be excluded in accordance with Article 13b. The margin shall be equal to a probability level of 95 %. 4. Information requirements pursuant to Article 13b(3)(aa) shall include the following: (a) identification of all land areas affected by natural disturbances in that particular year, including their geographical location, the period and types of natural disturbances; (b) evidence that no deforestation or other land conversion resulting in greenhouse gas emissions has occurred during the rest of the period from 2026 to 2030 on lands that were affected by natural disturbances and in respect of which emissions are to be compensated via the natural disturbances solidarity mechanism (c) a description of verifiable methods and criteria to be used to identify deforestation and other land conversion resulting in greenhouse gas emissions on those lands in the subsequent years of the period from 2026 to 2030; (d) a description of measures the Member State undertook to prevent or limit the impact of those natural disturbances; (e) a description of measures the Member State undertook to rehabilitate the lands affected by those natural disturbances. 5. The following emissions shall not be included for the purpose of application of the natural disturbances solidarity mechanism: (a) emissions resulting from harvesting and salvage logging activities that took place on land following the occurrence of natural disturbances; (b) emissions resulting from prescribed burning that took place on land in any year of the period from 2026 to 2030; (c) emissions on lands that were subject to deforestation following the occurrence of natural disturbances.
