Recital 22
(22) National plans should be stable to ensure transparency and predictability of national policies and measures in order to ensure investor certainty. Updates of national plans should however be foreseen once during the ten-year period covered to give Member States the opportunity to adapt to significant changing circumstances. For the plans covering the period from 2021 to 2030, Member States should be able to update their plans by 1 January 2024. Targets, objectives and contributions should only be modified to reflect an increased overall ambition in particular as regards the 2030 targets for energy and climate. As part of the updates, Member States should make efforts to mitigate any adverse environmental impacts that become apparent as part of the integrated reporting.

Recital 23 a (new)
(23 a) The LULUCF sector is highly exposed and very vulnerable to climate change.At the same time, this sector has huge potential to provide for long-term climate benefits and to contribute significantly to the achievement of European and international long-term climate goals.It can contribute to climate change mitigation in several ways, in particular by reducing emissions, maintaining and enhancing sinks and carbon stocks, and providing bio- materials than can substitute fossil- or carbon-intensive ones.In order for measures aiming in particular at increasing carbon sequestration to be effective, the sustainable resource management and long-term stability and adaptability of carbon pools is essential.Long-term strategies are essential to allow for sustainable investments in the long run.
