Forest monitoring and resilience in the EU
The problem definition in the impact assessment (IA) appears to be well-supported by evidence. The description of the policy options is balanced, albeit sometimes lacking in detail. The assessment of the options' impacts (economic, social and environmental) is mainly qualitative, with only limited quantified estimates of costs and benefits. Data limitations and uncertainties could have been described in more detail. The IA consistently presents the stakeholders' views on the problems, their drivers ...
Land use, land-use change and forestry
The revision of the Land Use, Land-use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) Regulation effectively increases reduction in overall net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2030 to 57 %, from the 55 % required by the European Climate Law. This is thanks to an EU target for carbon dioxide removals in the LULUCF sector.
Révision du règlement sur l’utilisation des terres, le changement d’affectation des terres et la foresterie
La proposition de révision du règlement sur l’utilisation des terres, le changement d’affectation des terres et la foresterie (UTCATF) a été incluse dans le paquet «Ajustement à l’objectif 55» de la Commission européenne. Les fonctions de puits de carbone du secteur UTCATF sont l’un des principaux éléments de la trajectoire de l’Union vers la neutralité carbone. Le 11 novembre 2022, le Parlement européen et le Conseil sont parvenus à un accord de trilogue sur la proposition. Le texte convenu sera ...
L'Union européenne et les forêts
L'Union européenne (UE) ne dispose pas de politique forestière commune. Toutefois, de nombreuses politiques et initiatives européennes influent sur les forêts, non seulement sur son territoire, mais aussi dans les pays tiers.
A new impulse for EU forests
Forests are a valuable asset, serving economic, social and environmental purposes. Forests and wooded land cover over 40% of European Union territory, and represent 5% of the world's forests. The EU is one of the biggest traders and consumers of wood products in the world. In September 2013, the European Commission presented a renewed Forest Strategy to improve the coherence of forest-related measures and allow synergies with other sectors that influence forest management.
The EU and forests: issues and instruments
Forests and other wooded land cover over 40% of the land area in the European Union (EU). The forests in the EU belong to many different bioclimatic zones and have adapted to a variety of natural conditions. About 60% of the wooded land in the EU is privately owned. Expansion of the EU’s forest area currently exceeds the loss of forest land. This positive development sets the EU apart from the rest of the world, where deforestation continues to reduce forest area.
