(23) Stable long-term low emission strategies are crucial to contribute towards economic transformation, jobs, growth and the achievement of broader sustainable development goals, as well as to move in a fair and cost-effective manner towards the long-term goal set by the Paris Agreement. Furthermore, Parties to the Paris Agreement are invited to communicate, by 2020, their mid-century, long-term low greenhouse gas emission development strategies, notably the reduction of the carbon intensity of the power sector.

Recital 23 b (new)
(23b) The LULUCF sector is highly exposed and very vulnerable to climate change. At the same time, this sector has huge potential to provide for long-term climate benefits and to contribute significantly to the achievement of European and international long-term climate goals. It can contribute to climate change mitigation in several ways, in particular by reducing emissions, maintaining and enhancing sinks and carbon stocks, and providing bio- materials than can substitute fossil- or carbon-intensive ones. In order for measures aiming in particular at increasing carbon sequestration to be effective, the sustainable resource management and long-term stability and adaptability of carbon pools is essential. Long-term strategies are essential to allow for sustainable investments in the long run.

(36) The Union and the Member States should strive to provide the most up-to- date information on their greenhouse gas emissions and removals, removals and the carbon intensity of their national power mix. This Regulation should enable such estimates to be prepared in the shortest timeframes possible by using statistical and other information, such as, where appropriate, space-based data provided by the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security programme and other satellite systems.
