Recital 1
(1) The Paris Agreement, adopted in December 2015 under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), entered into force in November 2016 (“the Paris Agreement”). Its Parties have agreed to hold the increase in the global average temperature well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1,5 °C above pre-industrial levels, while reflecting the principles of equity and of common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities of nations.

(1a) The urgency of not exceeding the Paris Agreement goal of 1,5 °C has become more significant following the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in its reports of 8 October 2018 entitled ‘Global warming of 1,5 °C’ and of 7 August 2021 entitled ‘Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis’. The IPCC found that the consequences of climate change are far more destructive if global warming fails in being delimited to 1,5 °C and reaches 2 °C. In addition, global temperature will reach or exceed the 1,5 ° C mark earlier than previously anticipated, namely by that average over the next 20 years. It also found that unless there are immediate and ambitious reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, it will no longer be possible to limit global warming to close to 1,5 °C or even 2 °C.

(1c) The need for urgent action is further intensified by the increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather conditions as a direct result of climate change. According to the United Nations (UN) Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, the number of disasters recorded and the scale of economic losses have nearly doubled in the last 20 years; and much of this increase corresponds to the significant rise in the number of climate-related disasters that pose a significant threat to human health. Furthermore, in its resolution 48/13 of 8 October 2021, the UN Human Rights Council recognised right to a safe, clean, healthy and sustainable environment as a human right.

(3) The European Green Deal31 provides a starting point for the achievement of the Union’s climate- neutrality objective by 2050 at the latest and the aim to achieve negative emissions thereafter as laid out in Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) 2021/1119. It combines a comprehensive set of mutually reinforcing measures and initiatives aimed at achieving climate neutrality in the Union by 2050 at the latest, and sets out a new growth strategy that aims to transform the Union into a fair and prosperous society, with a modern, and resource-efficient and competitive economy, where economic growth is decoupled from resource useeconomy. It also aims to protect, conserve and enhance the Union's natural capital, and protect the health and well-being of citizenspeople from environment-related risks and impacts. At the same time, this transition affects women and menall genders differently and has a particular impact on some disadvantaged groups, such as older people, persons with disabilities and persons with a minority racial or ethnic background. It must therefore be ensured that the transition is just and inclusive, leaving no one behind. __________________ 31Commission Communication - The European Green Deal, COM(2019)0640 of 11 December 2019.

(3a) The United Nations Environment Programme and the OECD Global Forum on Environment have highlighted that environmental changes have gender- specific impact. Gender-differentiated roles also cause differentiated vulnerabilities of women and men to the effects of climate change, and climate change impacts exacerbate gender inequalities. The 8th Environmental Action Programme lays down gender mainstreaming throughout climate and environmental policies, including by incorporating a gender perspective at all stages of the policy making process, as a vital enabling condition for the achievement of the priority objectives of the programme, requiring efforts from the Commission, the Member States, local and regional authorities and stakeholders, as appropriate.

(4) In Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 of the European Parliament and of the Council32 ( ‘European Climate Law’), the Union has enshrined into legislation the target of economy-wide climate neutrality by 2050 at the latest and the aim to achieve negative emissions thereafter. That Regulation also establishes a binding Union domestic reduction commitment of net greenhouse gas emissions (emissions after deduction of removals) of at least 55% below 1990 levels by 2030. __________________ 32Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 June 2021 establishing the framework for achieving climate neutrality and amending Regulations (EC) No 401/2009 and (EU) 2018/1999 (‘European Climate Law’) (OJ L 243, 9.7.2021, p. 1).

(7) While emissions trading will also apply to greenhouse gas emissions from road and maritime transport as well as buildings, the scope of Regulation (EU) 2018/842 will be maintained. Regulation (EU) 2018/842 will therefore continue applying to the greenhouse gas emissions from domestic navigation, but not to those from international navigation. Greenhouse gas emissions of a Member State within the scope of Regulation (EU) 2018/842 to be taken into account for compliance checks will continue to be determined upon completion of inventory reviews in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and the Council34 . __________________ 34Regulation (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).

(8 a) The large scale use of biomass, biofuels and bioliquids as fuels cannot be a long-term solution for the Union or its Member States and should be minimised. A letter1a sent on 18 February 2021 to President Biden, President von der Leyen, President Michel, Prime Minister Suga and President Moon, signed by more than 500 scientists, stressed that if the world supplied just an additional 2 % of its energy from wood, it would need to double its commercial wood harvests. In addition, the increased demand for vegetable oil-based fuels adds to the global pressure to clear more forests already created by rising food demand. The signatories stressed that sustainability standards cannot alter these results. Furthermore, recent science has shown that up to 97 % of scenarios that meet the goals of the Paris Agreement utilising bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), exceed sustainability and precautionary thresholds in land use and biodiversity1b. Therefore, only bio- based fuels that comply with the sustainability and greenhouse gas emission savings criteria established by the Directive (EU) 2018/2001 and specific rules for biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels produced from food and feed crops established by Directive (EU) 2018/2001 should be considered to have zero emissions under this Regulation. __________________ 1aScientist Letter to President Biden, President Von der Leyen, President Michel, Prime Minister Suga & President Moon Regarding Forest Bioenergy (February 11, 2021) 1bCreutzig, F., Erb, K.-H., Haberl, H., Hof, C., Hunsberger, C., & Roe, S.

(11a) The Commission, on the basis of the latest scientific knowledge and taking into account the advice of the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change established by Article 3 of Regulation (EU) 2021/1119, should propose intermediate targets for Member States for the years 2035, 2040, 2045 and 2050 under this Regulation. Demonstrating a rising ambition, these intermediate targets should set out a goal for Union-wide reduction targets for the sectors under Regulation (EU) 2018/842 as a sum of legally binding and enforceable Member State targets. The Commission should propose intermediate targets for the years 2035 and 2040 no later than six months after the adoption of the Union’s new climate target for 2040 pursuant to Article 4(3), (4) and (5) of Regulation (EU) 2021/1119. The Commission should propose the intermediate targets for the years 2045 and 2050 no later than 1 January 2035. Together with other relevant Union legislation, the intermediate targets for Regulation (EU) 2018/842 for the years 2035, 2040, 2045 and 2050 should ensure the achievement of the Union’s climate- neutrality by 2050 at the latest and the aim to achieve negative emissions thereafter as laid down in Article 2(1) in Regulation (EU) 2021/1119.

(11b) In order to set a long-term vision, the Commission, supported by the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change established by Article 3 of Regulation (EU) 2021/1119, should prepare an indicative roadmap of sectors pursuant to Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) 2018/842 contribution to the Union’s climate-neutrality by 2050 at the latest and the aim to achieve negative emissions thereafter laid out in Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) 2021/1119. The roadmaps should be prepared in a transparent manner with close engagement of stakeholders, such as individuals, civil society, social partners, academia, industry and policy makers. The roadmap is an essential tool for providing long-term insight and stability for the stakeholders and to identify common interest, possible inconsistence and conflicts in policy development. The roadmap should be updated every four years in order to consider latest scientific development, in close engagement with the stakeholders.

(11c) The Communication of 14 October 2020 on an EU strategy to reduce methane emissions1a pointed out that methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, second only to carbon dioxide in its overall contribution to climate change. On a molecular level, methane is more powerful than carbon dioxide. Although it remains for a shorter time in the atmosphere, it has a significant effect on the climate and contributes to tropospheric ozone formation, a potent local air pollutant which itself causes serious health problems. Reducing methane emissions therefore contributes to both slowing down climate change as well as improving air quality. Significant portions of methane emissions can be mitigated cost-effectively. In the Union, anthropogenic methane emissions are largely under Regulation (EU) 2018/842, as 53 % of them come from agriculture, 26 % from waste and 19 % from energy. __________________ 1a COM(2020)0663.

(11d) In September 2021, The European Union and the United States announced the Global Methane Pledge, to which more than 100 countries in total have since joined. The signatories of the pledge are aiming towards a collective goal of reducing global methane emissions by at least 30 % from 2020 levels by 2030 and enhancing reporting standards. According to the Global Methane Pledge, delivering its goal would reduce warming by at least 0,2° C by 2050.

(11f) A binding sub-target for methane emissions should therefore be set for Member States under Regulation (EU) 2018/842. The reduction of methane emissions, equivalent of carbon dioxide, for each Member State should correspond to at least 40 % of the percentage set for that Member State in Annex I in relation to its greenhouse gas emissions in 2005, by 2030. However, more efforts to reduce methane emissions are needed also in other parts of Union legislation.

Recital 11 g (new)
(11g) The Communication of 17 September 2020 on Stepping up Europe’s 2030 climate ambition4a stressed that reaching climate neutrality will require more efforts from all sectors of the Union. Particularly in the agricultural sector, greenhouse gas emission (GHG) reductions have been inadequate. Between 2005 and 2019, the EU’s agricultural GHG emissions changed very little, and this trend is expected to continue, with Member State projections indicating that there will be only a modest 2 % decline in agricultural GHG emissions by 2030, compared with 2005 levels. If additional measures currently planned by Member States are implemented, this would increase to a decline of 5 %. To incentivise more emission reduction efforts in the agricultural sector, a sub-target for the agricultural sector should be set corresponding to at least 40 % of the percentage set for that Member State in Annex I in relation to its greenhouse gas emissions in 2005, by 2030. __________________ 4a COM(2020)0562.

(15) Under Regulation (EU) 2018/842, the cancellation of a limited quantity of emission allowances in the European Union emission trading system may be taken into account for some Member States’ compliance under Regulation (EU) 2018/842. Given the particular structure of Malta’s economy, the national reduction target of that Member State based on Gross Domestic Product per capita is significantly above its cost- effective reduction potential, is is therefore appropriate to increase Malta’s access to that flexibility, without compromising the 2030 target of the Union on emission reductionshall be repealed to enhance emission reduction efforts.

(16) In addition to that flexibility, a limited quantity of net removals and net emissions from land use, land-use change and forestry (‘LULUCF’) may be taken into account for Member States’ complianceshall be repealed under Regulation (EU) 2018/842 (‘the LULUCF flexibility’). In order to ensure that sufficient mitigation efforts are deployed until 2030, it is appropriate to limit the use of the LULUCF flexibility by separating the use of such flexibility into two separaProgress in one sector cannot compensate for the lack of progress in other sectors. Moreover, removals of GHGs by natural carbon sinks are fragile and pote ntime periods, each capped by a limit corresponding to half of the maximum amount of total net removals set out in Annex III to Regulation (EU) 2018/842. It is also appropriate to bring the title of Annex III in line with the amendment to Regulation (EU) 2018/841 carried out by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/268 of 28 October 202037 . As a consequence, there is no longer a need for Regulation (EU) 2018/842 to provide for a legally reversible, which leads to increased uncertainty in measuring emissions and removals in the land sector compared to sectors under Regulation (EU) 2018/842. The risk of reversal of removals by natural carbon sinks is further aggravated by climate change and other factors, such as environmental crime. Climate science also shows that the climate response to emissions and removals is asymmetrical resulting into the conclusion that one tonne of GHG emitted to the atmosphere cannot be compared to one tonne of GHG removed1a. Therefore the objective of enhancing removals basis allowing the Commission to adopt delegated acts to amend the title of its Annex III. Article 7(2) of Regulation (EU) 2018/842 should therefore be deleted. __________________ 37Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/268 of 28 October 2020 amending Annex IV to Regulation (EU) 2018/841 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the forest reference levels to be applied by the Member States for the period 2021-2025 (OJ L 60, 22.2.2021, p. y natural carbon sinks should be pursued strictly separately from the objective of rapidly and drastically reducing GHG emissions from the sectors covered by this Regulation. __________________ 1a Zickfeld K., Azevedo D., Mathesius S. et al.

Member States exceeding its annual emission allocations should provide a public explanation and put in place corrective measures. If a Member State exceeds its annual emission allocations during two successive years, the particular Member State should revise its integrated national energy and climate plan submitted to it in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council, while giving the public a possibility to participate in the process. Furthermore, in 2027 and 2032, if the reviewed greenhouse gas emissions of a Member State exceed its annual emission allocation, a financial penalty should be imposed on the Member State concerned for every tonne of CO2 equivalent in excess of its allocation. The amount of the penalty should be 250 EUR for each tonne of CO2 equivalent, reflecting the shadow cost of carbon as defined by the European Investment Bank. In order to ensure a fair and just transition, all revenues from the possible penalties should be placed in the Social Climate Fund.

(18) The setting of more ambitious targets under Regulation (EU) 2018/841 will decrease the capacity of Member States to generate net removals that can be used for compliance under Regulation (EU) 2018/842. In addition, the split of the use of the LULUCF flexibility into two separate time periods, will further limit the availability of net removals for the purpose of compliance with Regulation (EU) 2018/842. As a result, some Member States may face challenges in meeting their targets under Regulation (EU) 2018/842, while some Member States, the same or other, may generate net removals that cannot be used for compliance with Regulation (EU) 2018/842. As long as the Union objectives as set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 are met, in particular with regard to the maximum limit of the contribution of net removals, it is appropriate to create a new voluntary mechanism, in the form of an additional reserve, that will help adhering Member States to comply with their obligations.deleted

(6b) The following article is inserted: ‘Article 9a Access to Justice 1. Member States shall ensure that, in accordance with their national legal system, members of the public concerned who meet the conditions set out in paragraph 2, including individuals and non-governmental organisations, have access to a review procedure before a court of law or another independent and impartial body established by law to challenge the substantive or procedural legality of decisions, acts and omissions: (a) that fail to comply with legal obligations arising under Article 4 of this Regulation; or (b) that are subject to Article 10 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999. For the purposes of this paragraph, an act or omission that fails to comply with legal obligations arising under Articles 4 or 8 includes an act or omission with respect to a policy or measure adopted for the purposes of implementing those obligations, where that policy or measure fails to make a sufficient contribution to such implementation. 2. Members of the public concerned meet the conditions referred to in paragraph 1 when: (a) they have sufficient interest; or (b) they maintain the impairment of a right, where administrative procedural law of a Member State requires this as a precondition. What constitutes a sufficient interest shall be determined by Member States, consistently with the objective of giving the public concerned wide access to justice and in conformity with the Aarhus Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-Making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters. To that end, the interest of any non-governmental organisation promoting environmental protection and meeting any requirements under national law shall be deemed to have sufficient interest for the purposes of this paragraph. 3. Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not exclude the possibility of a preliminary review procedure before an administrative authority and shall not affect the requirement of exhaustion of administrative review procedures prior to recourse to judicial review procedures, where such a requirement exists under national law. Any such procedure shall be fair, equitable, timely and not prohibitively expensive. 4. Member States shall ensure that practical information is made easily available to the public on access to administrative and judicial review procedures.’
