5 Amendments of Daciana Octavia SÂRBU related to 2018/2974(RSP)
Amendment 85 #
Paragraph 9
9. Notes however that those pathways rely to a large extent on carbon removal technologies, including through carbon capture and storage and direct air capture, that yet have to prove their feasibility; considers that the EU net-zero strategy should not overly rely on such technologies, which should complement direct emissions reductions; believes that further aemissions reductions by 2030 isare needed if the Union is to avoid relying on carbon removal technologies that would entail significant risks for ecosystems, biodiversity and food security as confirmed by the IPCC 1.5 report; notes that the most cost efficient and scientifically proven carbon removal technology is the production of wood-based products combined with sustainable forest management;
Amendment 296 #
Subheading 5
Maximising the climate potential of forests and their contribution to the bio-economy
Amendment 308 #
Paragraph 24 a (new)
24 a. Highlights the need to make sustainable forest management more comercially competitive and to support practical measures with significant storage and sequestration effects such as using timber as building material both in cities and rural areas, replacement of fossil fuels and as a tool for better water retention;
Amendment 311 #
Paragraph 25
25. Recognises the positive, but ultimately limited potential for afforestation in Europe; therefore, believes that afforestation initiatives must be complemented by concrete initiatives and incentives aiming to maximisenhance the sequestration potential, while securing and enhancing the health of existing forest lands through restoration in order to reap benefits for bothe climate, bio-economy and biodiversity, supports, therefore, the afforestation of abandoned and marginally productive agricultural land, agroforestry and the minimisation of conversion of forest areas to other land uses;
Amendment 377 #
Paragraph 32 a (new)
32 a. Emphasises that the transition towards a net-zero GHG economy requires renewable energy sources as well as the substitution of products and materials which are fossil-based or which create high emissions during production with products and materials based on renewable resources.
