Inclusion of #LULUCF in #EU climate policy requires binding, separate, national #sink and #restoration targets. Elements for those we discuss in a new Öko-Institut e.V. paper for Greenpeace e.V. published today at bit.ly/38RCDmK

Damit Ökosysteme ihre #Klimaschutz-Wirkung entfalten können, muss die #EU ein verbindliches Ziel für den Schutz natürlichen Kohlenstoffspeicher (#Senken) definieren. Neue Studie für Greenpeace e.V. zeigt, wie das aussehen kann: oeko.de/presse/archiv-… #Biodiversität #Waldwende

What are options for multilateral initiatives of #G20 to close the climate ambition gap between current policies and #ParisAgreement? Check out your specific policy field: #energytransition, e-fuels, sustainable food or #forests! UBA published our reports: bit.ly/2PR19hy

The effect widely excluded: increased tree harvest reduces forest carbon sink significantly in both boreal and temperate regions, and at least over 100 years, concludes our new review paper accepted in Global Change Biology Bioenergy. syke.fi/en-US/Current/…

Should we increase forest harvest to mitigate climate change? Well, since harvest reduces C stocks in forests, we need to make sure wood use replaces more fossil C than is lost in forests. And this is 1.6 tC per tC harvested, we found in GCBB review study oeko.de/publikationen/…
