Amendment 55 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital B
Recital B
B. whereas sustainable carbon cycles must be considered in a holistic manner, as increasing carbon sinks and replacing fossil carbon as much as possible will require more biomass production, thuswill affecting the land sector; whereas carbon farming schemes can be part of an incentivising market- based toolbox for delivering on climate objectives;
Amendment 70 #
Motion for a resolution

Recital C
C. whereas every tonne of fossil CO2 that is not emitted or is or will be sustainably stored in cycles is the best contribution tovery important in achieving climate targets; whereas storing CO2 from the atmosphere or other cycles should be used as one among many methods for achieving climate targets;

Amendment 226 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8 a (new)
Paragraph 8 a (new)
8a. Stresses that carbon removal practices and efforts should not infringe on the right of people to live in healthy environments, which includes preserving healthy soils; calls on the Commission to devise clear safeguarding policies with the aim to protect this right;
Amendment 231 #
8b. Recognises the value of industrial solutions in carbon sequestration as well as their contribution in reducing carbon emissions; emphasizes that nature-based solutions such as diverse old-growth forests, rewetting of drained wetlands and peatlands, agroforestry and reforestation should be prioritised and incentivised as carbon farming initiatives should not only favour industrial farming models;
Amendment 235 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8 c (new)
Paragraph 8 c (new)
8c. Stresses that the impact of nature- based and industrial carbon removal solutions on balancing greenhouse gas emissions is limited, and should not come at the expense of ambitious climate mitigation goals, which require substantial reduction in emissions and not only offsetting;
Amendment 237 #
Motion for a resolution

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9
Paragraph 9
9. Considers that carbon farming can be a new green business model which should be additional and voluntary, and whichrewards sustainable land management practices that aims to upscale climate mitigation by paying, and which incentivises farmers to implement climate-friendly farm or forest management practices, by tapping into the potential of blue carbon ecosystems and by streamlining the industrial use of carbon sequestered for different purposes;
Amendment 316 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12
Paragraph 12
12.

Paragraph 15
Paragraph 15
15.

Amendment 417 #
16a. Welcomes the Commission’s efforts to develop a transparent, bulletproof and scientifically backed EU framework for the certification of carbon removals, based on robust accounting rules; stresses that such framework should not undermine the policies that call for emissions reductions;
