From: The role of forests in the EU climate policy: are we on the right track?
Trends of EU-27 net emissions and removals for LULUCF, Forest land + HWP, and other LULUCF categories, as reported in the GHGI 2020 and GHGI 2023, and a comparison between the trajectories needed to reach the agreed target of − 310 Mt CO2e for the total LULUCF sector in 2030. The additional net removals initially needed for the − 310-target are assumed to be split equally between Forest land + HWP and other LULUCF categories, reflecting the modelling underpinning the Impact Assessment for the revised LULUCF regulation (EC 2021). The figure reflects the geographic scope of the EU-27 (as in the LULUCF regulation), excluding non-EU territories of France and Denmark
