The EU may revise its 2040 climate target if forests fail to absorb enough CO2, due to declining carbon uptake and economic concerns.
The EU is considering adjusting its 2040 climate target if forests and land use fail to absorb sufficient carbon dioxide, according to a draft proposal.
The plan allows for revisions if natural carbon sinks underperform, with the European Commission potentially introducing new measures to boost land-sector absorption.
This follows concerns from member states about economic impacts and a French proposal for a 3% target reduction under certain conditions.
CO2 absorption by European forests has dropped nearly a third over the past decade due to wildfires and poor management.
EU climate ministers are set to discuss the goal on November 4 ahead of the COP30 summit, requiring at least 15 member states to approve any final agreement.
