REGULATION (EU) 2023/839 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

of 19 April 2023

amending Regulation (EU) 2018/841 as regards the scope, simplifying the reporting and compliance rules, and setting out the targets of the Member States for 2030, and Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 as regards improvement in monitoring, reporting, tracking of progress and review

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 192(1) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions (2),

Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (3),

Whereas:

The Paris Agreement, adopted on 12 December 2015 under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) (the ‘Paris Agreement’), entered into force on 4 November 2016. The Parties to the Paris Agreement 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. That commitment has been reinforced with the adoption under the UNFCCC of the Glasgow Climate Pact on 13 November 2021, in which the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC, serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement, recognises that the impacts of climate change will be much lower at a temperature increase of 1,5 oC, compared with 2 oC, and resolves to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1,5 oC.

In its 2019 Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) provided the latest scientific evidence on the ongoing worldwide erosion of biodiversity. The communication of the Commission of 20 May 2020 on an EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 – Bringing nature back into our lives (the ‘EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030’) steps up the Union’s ambition regarding the protection and restoration of biodiversity and well-functioning ecosystems. Forests and healthy soils are extremely important for biodiversity, but also for the purification of air and water, carbon sequestration and storage, and the provision of sustainably sourced long-lived wood products. The nature and function of forests is highly variable across the Union, with certain types of forests being more vulnerable to climate change due to direct impacts, such as drought, temperature-induced forest dieback or changes in aridity. Deforestation and forest degradation contribute to the global climate crisis as they increase greenhouse gas emissions, inter alia through associated forest fires, thus permanently removing carbon sink capacities, decreasing the climate change resilience of the affected areas and substantially reducing their biodiversity.

Soil organic carbon and carbon pools of deadwood, much of which feed the soil carbon pool, are also of particularly high relevance in a number of reporting categories, for both climate action and biodiversity protection. The communication of the Commission of 16 July 2021 on a new EU Forest Strategy for 2030 (the ‘New EU Forest Strategy for 2030’) and the communication of the Commission of 17 November 2021 on the EU Soil Strategy for 2030 – Reaping the benefits of healthy soils for people, food, nature and climate (the ‘EU Soil Strategy for 2030’) both recognised the need to protect and improve the quality of forests and soil ecosystems in the Union, and to encourage reinforced sustainable management practices that...
