LULUCF-kommentit komissiolle
–
EU uusii maankäytön, sen muutosten ja metsien ns. LULUCF-pelisääntöjä. SLL korosti sille päästövähennyksiä, parempaa raportointia ja biodiversiteettiä. Land use, land use change & forestry – review of EU rules 26.11.2020…

Suomen luonnonsuojeluliitto (The Finnish Association for Nature Conservation) is the oldest and biggest environmental non-governmental organization in Finland. We would like to make the following points concerning the LULUCF regulation.
Emissions in the EU must be cut at least 65 % by the year 2030 in order to keep the global temperature rise to 1.5 °C. The focus should be on reducing emissions in all sectors instead of creating or increasing flexibility between sectors. Separate targets are also needed for different land-use categories within the LULUCF sector.
There are still many data gaps in monitoring, reporting and verification in the LULUCF sector and the accounting needs to be improved.
For example in Finland the FRL does not set an ambitious goal for increasing the carbon sink and storage of forests. Stronger incentives or regulation are needed in order for the use of forests to be in line with the climate targets.
All actions in the LULUCF sector should support biodiversity and reaching the targets of the biodiversity strategy.
