(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 levels, 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 in 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 310 millions of tonnes CO2 equivalent of net removals for the Union as a whole in 2030 and should take into account the indicators as well as thresholds or ranges for sustainable forest management practices developed by the Commission with the Member States as indicated in the Forest Strategy 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).

(5a) Mapping and monitoring provisions, both in field and remote sensing monitoring, are introduced in order to require Member States to have geographically explicit information to identify priority areas to contribute to climate action and having potential to be restored. As part of a general improvement of monitoring, reporting and verification, the work will also focus on harmonising and refining databases of activity and emissions factors to improve greenhouse gas inventories.

(5b) Soil organic carbon and carbon pool of deadwood, much of which consequently feeds the soil carbon pool are of particularly high relevance, in a number of reporting categories, for both climate action and biodiversity protection. Empirical evidence exists on deadwood in form of coarse woody debris acting as a carbon sink analogous to harvested wood products. It contributes further to creation of terrestrial carbon sink of forest soil preventing mineralisation into CO2 and both of these mechanisms should be adequately factored in the reporting. Research further confirms the global patterns reported for forest soils’ vertical soil organic carbon applicability for European forests, whereby approximately 55–65% is stored in the upper 30 cm of soil, and the rest 40% is stored at higher depth, measured up to 1 m, in particular for organic soils. The Regulation is amended in this respect.

(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 productsEmissions released after instantaneous oxidisation of biogenic carbon do not have a price. This could lead to an unoptimal use of the carbon pool of aboveground biomass and such should be disincentivised as it is an unsustainable way to go in the sector which represents the biosphere. The emerging innovative business models, farming an, restoration initiatives, proforestation, and other human-induced land management practices and choices 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.

(15a) In Europe, National Forest Inventories (NFI) are used to provide information for forest ecosystem service assessments. The forest inventory monitoring system differs by country, as each country has its own forest inventory system with its own methodology. European Commission and Members States should harmonize the indicators, definition and the different inventory systems and establish a consistent forest monitoring system across the Union.

(16) Due to the change to reporting- based targets, the greenhouse gas emissions and removals need to be estimated and measured with a higher level of accuracy. Moreover, the Communication from the Commission on EU Biodiversity Strategy for 203038 , the Farm to Fork Strategy for a fair, healthy and environmentally-friendly food system39 , the EU Forest Strategy40 , the revised Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council41 and the Communication from the Commission on Forging a climate-resilient Europe - the new EU Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change42 will all require enhanced monitoring of land, thereby helping to protect and enhance the resilience of nature-based carbon removals throughout the Union. The monitoring and reporting of emissions and removals needs to be upgraded, using advanced technologies available under Union programmes, such as Copernicus, and digital data collected under the Common Agricultural Policy, applying the twin transition of green and digital innovationLUCAS soil survey for Union-wide harmonised monitoring of the evolution in soil organic carbon content and carbon stocks, National Forest Inventories with frequent return on pertinent climate- related and biodiversity indicators, and digital data collected under the Common Agricultural Policy, applying the twin transition of green and digital innovation. Highlighting biodiversity issues in the review of the Regulation (EU) 2018/841 constitutes a concrete signal for Member States to seize the opportunity for synergies between Union climate and biodiversity policies. This would benefit other policies, including agriculture, and would improve policy coherence as committed in the European Green Deal. __________________ 38Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 - Bringing nature back into our lives (COM(2020) 380 final). 39 COM/2020/381 final. 40 […] 41Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources (OJ L 328, 21.12.2018, p. 82). 42 COM/2021/82 final.

(17) The expected anthropogenic changes to marine, coastal and freshwaters environment use though, for instance, planned expansion of offshore energy, potential increase in aquaculture production and the increasing levels of nature protection to meet the EU Biodiversity Strategy targets will influence greenhouse gas emissions and their sequestration. Currently these emissions and removals are not included in the standard reporting tables to the UNFCCC. Subsequently to the adoption of the reporting methodology, the Commission will consider reporting on the progress, feasibility of analysis and impact of extending the reporting to marine, coastal, including deltaic wetlands, and freshwater environment based on the latest scientific evidence of these fluxes when carrying out the review in accordance with Article 17(2) of this Regulation.
