Emissions from Land Use and Forestry (LULUCF) (Regulation)
cepPolicyBrief
In cep's view, the increased inclusion of land use, land use change and forestry into EU climate policy is appropriate because GHG removals are just as important for climate protection as GHG emissions. At the same time, Member States should be permitted to set off emission-reducing land-use changes and afforestation programmes without restriction when they reach their GHG emissions limits.
