EU:n ilmastojohtajuus vaatii Suomelta konkreettisia toimia

A coalition of environmental organizations calls on Finland to advocate for stricter EU climate targets, specifically requesting a 95% emission reduction by 2050 and a 47% reduction in the effort-sharing sector by 2030. The letter argues against 'loopholes' in forestry and emissions trading and demands a LULUCF regulation that uses historical baselines for forest carbon accounting and includes mandatory wetland protections.

• The authors argue that the current proposal for the Effort Sharing Regulation is not ambitious enough to meet Paris Agreement commitments and propose a target of at least 95% emission reductions by 2050 and at least 47% for the effort-sharing sector by 2030.
• The document identifies two specific 'loopholes' in the Commission's proposal: a forestry loophole allowing non-permanent sinks to offset emissions in other sectors, and a 'one-off mechanism' in emissions trading that could allow Finland to lower its domestic effort-sharing target by two percentage points to 37%.
• Regarding the LULUCF regulation, the authors demand that the climate impact of forest use be compared to historical use to determine net changes and that the 'cap' for managed forest land carbon sinks should not be increased, as these sinks are considered uncertain and non-permanent.
• The coalition advocates for the mandatory inclusion of wetlands and peatlands within the LULUCF sector to incentivize member states to reduce emissions from these areas.
