(4) The Paris Agreement sets out a long-term goal to pursue efforts to keep the global temperature increase to well below 21.5 °C above pre-industrial levels23, and to pursue efforts to keep it to 1.5 °C above pre- industrial levels23 , and stresses the importance ofstresses the importance of adapting to the adverse impacts of climate change24, particularly in agriculture where agroecological solutions need to be applied, not only to mitigate and adapting to the adverse impacts of climate change24 and making finance flows consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate-resilient development25 . climate change but also to maintain productivity and profitability while strengthening resilience and EU food security, as well as of making finance flows consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate-resilient development25. As the overall framework for the Union taking its fair share of the global effort to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5°C, the European Climate Law should ensure that both the Union and the Member States fully contribute to achieve those three long-term objectives of the Paris Agreement. _________________ 23 Article 2.1.a of the Paris Agreement. 24 Article 2.1.b of the Paris Agreement. 25 Article 2.1.c of the Paris Agreement.

(6) Achieving climate neutrality shouldDelivering on the objectives of the Paris Agreement, in particular by achieving net zero GHG emissions by 2040 at the latest, requires a contribution from all economic ll economic sectors to rapidly reduce their emissions to as closec tors zero as possible. In light of the importance of energy production and consumption on greenhouse gas emissions, the transition to a sustainable, affordable and secure energy system relying on a well-functioning internal energy market is essential. The transformation and decarbonisation of the Union's transport and food systems and of its energy supply and industries, as well as digital transformation, technological innovation, and research and development are also important drivers for achieving the climate- neutrality objective. Notably high emissions in the agriculture and forestry sectors include direct and indirect land use change destroying carbon sinks as a result of embedded deforestation associated with soya used for feeding the Union's livestock, and palm oil or wood used for energy in the Union. Although some GHG emissions from the agricultural sector are inevitable, the Union should reduce its GHG footprint as far as possible by adapting the scale of its livestock sector, to adapt to the available resources of home-grown fodder and pasture and to the needs of the Union's food security. The Union and the Member States will need to adopt ambitious and coherent regulatory frameworks to ensure the contribution of all sectors of the economy to the Union's climate objectives. Any mainstreamed technological solutions must be sustainable, following the precautionary principle without negative social or environmental impacts nor creating input or financial dependencies.

Recital 7
(7) The Union has been pursuing an ambitious policy on climate action and has put in place a regulatory framework to achieve its 2030 greenhouse gas emission reduction target. The legislation implementing this target consists, inter alia, of Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council26 , which establishes a system for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Union, Regulation (EU) 2018/842 of the European Parliament and of the Council27 , which introduced national targets for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, and Regulation (EU) 2018/841 of the European Parliament and of the Council28 , which requires Member States to balance greenhouse gas emissions and removals from land use, land use change and forestry. By 30 June 2021 at the latest, the Commission should revise that legislation, together with all relevant sectoral legislation, as well as the Union's external action and the Union's budget, to take into account the Union's GHG budget, the Union's increased 2030 climate target and the net zero GHG emissions objective set out in this Regulation. _________________ 26Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a system for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Union and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC (OJ L 275 of 25 October 2003, p. 32). 27Regulation (EU) 2018/842 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 on binding annual greenhouse gas emission reductions by Member States from 2021 to 2030 contributing to climate action to meet commitments under the Paris Agreement and amending Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 (OJ L 156, 19.6.2018, p. 26). 28 Regulation (EU) 2018/841 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 on the inclusion of greenhouse gas emissions and removals from land use, land use change and forestry in the 2030 climate and energy framework, and amending Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 and Decision No 529/2013/EU (OJ L 156, 19.6.2018, p. 1).

Recital 12
(12) The Union should aim to achieve a balance between anthropogenic economy- wide emissions and removals, through natural and technological solutions, of greenhouse gases domestically within the Union by 2050. The Union-wide 2050 climate-neutrality objective should be pursued by all Member States collectively, and the Member States, the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission should take the necessary measures to enable its achievement. Measures at Union level will constitute an important part of the measures needed to achieve the objective. Notably it is important to find ways to measure and find accurate indicators for carbon sequestration in soils, the second largest (albeit temporary) reserve of carbon after the oceans.

Recital 17
(17) The Commission, in its Communication ‘The European Green Deal’, announced its intention to assess and make proposals for increasing the Union’s greenhouse gas emission reduction target for 2030 to ensure its consistency with the climate-neutrality objective for 2050. In that Communication, the Commission underlined that all Union policies should contribute to the climate-neutrality objective and that all sectors should play their part. By September 2020In order to allow forward planning of net zero carbon economies, the Commission should by September 2020, based on a comprehensive impact assessment and taking into account its analysis of the integrated national energy and climate plans submitted to the Commission in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council36 , review the Union’s 2030 target for climate and explore options formake proposals to the European Parliament and to the Council to amend this Regulation with a new 2030 target of 50 to 55 70% emission reductions compared with 1990 levels. Where it considers necessary to amend the Union’s 2030 target, it should make proposals to the European Parliament and to the Council to amend this Regulation as appropriate. In addition, the Commission should, by 30 June 2021, assess how the Union legislation implementing that target would need to be amended in order to achieve emission reductions of 50 to 55 70% compared to 1990. _________________ 36 Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action, amending Regulations (EC) No 663/2009 and (EC) No 715/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Directives 94/22/EC, 98/70/EC, 2009/31/EC, 2009/73/EC, 2010/31/EU, 2012/27/EU and 2013/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Directives 2009/119/EC and (EU) 2015/652 and repealing Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 328, 21.12.2018, p. 1).

(19) The Commission should ensure a robust and objective assessment based on the most up to date scientific, technical and socio-economic findings, and representative of a broad range of independent expertise, and base its assessment on relevant information including information submitted and reported by Member States, reports of the European Environment Agency, best available scientific evidence, including the reports of the IPCC. Given that the Commission has committed to exploring how the EU taxonomy can be used in the context of the European Green Deal by the public sector, this should include information on environmentally sustainable investment, by the Union and Member States, consistent with Regulation (EU) 2020/… [Taxonomy Regulation] when such information becomes available. Any climate certification schemes for food /farming must be based on peer-reviewed science, and assessed and approved by the Commission as an impartial interlocutor. Any schemes must be publicly- funded, without conflict of interest and come under public scrutiny. The Commission should use European statistics and data where available and seek expert scrutiny. The European Environment Agency should assist the Commission, as appropriate and in accordance with its annual work programme.
