Net Zero Plan for Carbon Sink Emissions Moves Ahead in European Union

摘要

European Union governments and landowners would have to make sure that net greenhouse gas emissions from forests and other carbon sinks remain at or below zero through 2030, under a draft regulation European Parliament approved Sept. 13. The regulation could have an impact on agriculture, forestry, and wood-based industries such as pulp and paper, as governments and businesses implement systems to promote more sustainable practices to ensure that their land use, land-use change, and forestry (LU-LUCF) emissions do not rise.
