(23b) 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.
