The EU has adopted new targets for the carbon sink from land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF). The legislation is now to be implemented in Sweden.
Sweden is expected to deliver the Union's largest carbon sink by increasing carbon sequestration in forests and soil by 4 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents in 2030 compared to a historical reference period. To achieve this, Sweden must combine efforts to increase forest growth with efforts from other sectors of the economy.
*LULUCF = Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry. A regulation setting out rules for the carbon dioxide removals and emissions from land use and forestry.
