Indicator Specification
No rationale has been identified for this indicator.
The indicator comprises historical and projected emissions estimates from the LULUCF sector. Historical emissions are presented by main land use category, whereas projected emissions are presented at aggregate level.
Million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (Mt CO2e)
Regulation (EU) 2018/841 establishes Member States' contributions to meeting the greenhouse gas emission reduction target of the Union for the period 2021-2030 for the land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) sector. The European Climate Law enshrines the goal for Europe to become climate-neutral by 2050 and includes a target of at least a 55% reduction in net emissions of greenhouse gases by 2030 compared to 1990. This acknowledges the need to enhance Europe’s carbon sink through a more ambitions LULUCF regulation, for which the Commission made a proposal in July 2021.
No targets have been specified

Historical and projected emissions estimates from all EU Member States and for the EU-27 aggregate were obtained from publicly available databases published by the EEA.
For the individual Member State's emissions and removals, the cumulative 10-year LULUCF total for 2020-2019 and the projected 10-year LULUCF total for 2021-2030 for a scenario ‘with existing measures’ are shown.
The latest available version of the historical inventory and projected emissions are used to compile the indicator, but note that this may introduce small inconsistencies between the historical and projected emissions, if projections for some Member States are not based on the latest inventory submission and recalculations have occurred.
No methodology for gap filling has been specified. Probably this info has been added together with indicator calculation.
