Citation 15 a (new)
Citation 15 a (new)
— having regard to the Communication from the Commission on the New EU Forest Strategy for 2030 (COM(2021) 572);
Amendment 73 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital C
Recital C
C. whereas every tonne of fossil CO2 that is not emitted or is or will be sustainably stored in cycles is the best contribution to achieving climate targets; whereas sustainably storing CO2 from the atmosphere or other cycles should be used as one among many methods for achieving climate targets;
Amendment 81 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital D
Recital D
D. whereas carbon removal plays a crucial role in achieving a climate-neutral EU economy by 2050, as they canit can help balance the emissions that are very difficult to eliminate and create a new market-based income source for farmers;
Amendment 98 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital E
Recital E
E. whereas the biogenic carbon cycle is a natural process and must be used in a sustainable way to substitute fossil carbon as soon as possible;
Amendment 157 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Stresses that the agricultural and forestry sectors can play a significant role in this process, given that they agricultural and forest ecosystems have the capacity to remove and store carbon through carbon reservoir use and management; underlines that the agricultural and forestry sector contribute to the overall goal to be the first climate- neutral continent;
Amendment 187 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5 a (new)
Paragraph 5 a (new)
5a. Stresses the enormous mutual benefit that can be achieved by linking the sustainable carbon cycles initiative with the legally binding instrument for ecosystem restoration being developed by the Commission, especially for those ecosystems (i.e. old growth forests) more capable to capture and store carbon, prevent and reduce the impact of natural disasters, and help tackle biodiversity loss;
Amendment 194 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Recognises that the Commission communication on sustainable carbon cycles sets out the first steps towards regulating and properly assessing carbon sinks, carbon removal and recycling;
Amendment 248 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9
Paragraph 9
9. Considers that carbon farming can be a new business model which should be additional and voluntartaken into account within the common agricultural policy, and which aims to upscale climate mitigation by paying farmers to implement climate-friendly farm or forest management practices, by tapping into the potential of blue carbon ecosystems and by streamlining the industrial use of carbon sequestered for different purposes;
Amendment 301 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11 a (new)
Paragraph 11 a (new)
11a. Emphasizes that protection of forests is a key issue, especially of those of particular ecological value, as a complementary strategy for increasing long-term carbon storage in forest ecosystems, as stated in the technical assessment to the Carbon Cycles Communication, thus, forest protection offers short to medium-term carbon sink benefits, while providing high biodiversity value and increased forest resilience as forests develop old-growth attributes;
Amendment 305 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11 b (new)
Paragraph 11 b (new)
11b. Reminds that new evidence suggests that forest carbon continues to increase for centuries in primary and old- growth forest ecosystems, which implies that these forests should not be seen as carbon neutral but rather as active carbon sinks;
Amendment 306 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11 c (new)
Paragraph 11 c (new)
Amendment 319 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12
Paragraph 12
12. Stresses that carbon farming must be regulated in line with the current CAP and be seen as a complementary and additional topping-up option; underlines, however, that in the longer term carbon farming should be market-based as soon as possible;
Amendment 358 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14
Paragraph 14
14. Underlines that CCS is not allowed in all Member States; stresses that the Commission has to sufficiently document the long-term effect of CCS in regions with deep soil and support experimental projects and further research to obtain more data on this;
Amendment 411 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16
Paragraph 16
16. Emphasises the need to develop a robust science-based new framework for the quantification and certification of carbon removals that must at the same time avoid greenwashing and carbon leakage; underlines the need to promote high- quality carbon certificates that can ensure the achievement of the criteria of additionality, permanence, no double counting and authenticity in order to incentivise improved land management practices, thus resulting in enhanced carbon capture;
Amendment 421 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16 a (new)
Paragraph 16 a (new)
16a. Stresses that the certification of carbon removals should not be solely based on its climate benefits, but should also help address the biodiversity crisis and achieve the SDGs;
Amendment 472 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 19 a (new)
Paragraph 19 a (new)
19a. Calls on the Commission to accelerate the provision of advice and technical guidance on the development of clear and applicable ecosystem services payment schemes for forest owners and managers, and to integrate these schemes in European financial instruments, as set out in the New EU Forest Strategy for 2030 (especially in the LIFE-programme), as well as to study the alignment of these payments with the funding of carbon cycling;
Amendment 481 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 20
Paragraph 20
20. Calls for increased cooperation and exchange of practices among stakeholders in order to promote better implementation of carbon cycling initiatives in the agricultural and forestry sector;
Amendment 487 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 21
Paragraph 21
21. Calls for advisory services in forestry and agriculture, such as the Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation System (AKIS), to contribute with broader knowledge and information to support sustainable carbon practices and to ensure easy access to this information;
