The European Parliament took a step in the right direction with yesterday's vote on LULUCF. Still, the carbon sink target will be challenging and the upcoming negotiations must ensure that forests can keep delivering renewable products. Swedish Forest Industries forestindustries.se/news/news/2022…

European Commission has presented a plan on Nature Restoration. We welcome the objectives of the proposal. Now it is important to ensure the final legislation aligns with other societal goals, such as mitigating climate change. forestindustries.se/news/news/2022… Anna Holmberg Emma Berglund

New #NatureRestoration proposal out today. Important objectives, but important to evaluate impacts and balance various societal goals. See comment from Swedish Forest Industries

Important steps forward in Council positions on forestry and climate. Comments from Swedish Forest Industries on LULUCF, deforestation, ETS and RED. Mårten Larsson Emma Berglund Johan Bruce forestindustries.se/news/news/2022…

Welcome steps towards consideration of local conditions and specificities in Member States - in Council position on bioenergy in the Renewable Energy Directive. But risks remain that use of sustainable forest bioenergi is hampered. #RED Swedish Forest Industries forestindustries.se/news/news/2022…

European Parliament adopted its report on the #EUForestStrategy - a balanced approach, recognizing that varying forests in EU require varying management approaches. Also stresses the role of wood-based products for storing carbon and substituting fossil-based products 🌳

Position on #deforestation adopted by EP - important regulation to stop deforestation 🌱 But some things remain unclear and may hamper implementation, eg the definition of forest degradation and geolocation requirements forestindustries.se/news/news/2022…

ILS L'ONT FAIT 💛💙

🇸🇪 Congratulations Ulf Kristersson on your election as Prime Minister of Sweden. Sweden will soon hold the presidency of the Council of the EU at a crucial time. I’m looking forward to working together to address the multiple challenges our Union is facing.

Bra om skogen i regeringsförklaringen: ”Det svenska skogsbruket är centralt för svenskt klimatarbete” och ”regeringen kommer helhjärtat stå upp för ett hållbart svenskt skogsbruk”

EU-lagstiftning om återställande av natur kan hota 10 000 jobb i Sverige. Regeringen och ledamöter i EP måste nu i förhandlingarna säkerställa att lagstiftningen genomförs så att den inte hotar jobb eller råvaruförsörjning. skogsindustrierna.se/aktuellt/nyhet…

Provisional agreement on #LULUCF reached tonight - 310 Mt carbon sink from forests and land to be reached by 2030. Important that all land uses and sectors contribute while at the same time ensuring availability of EU-grown renewable raw materials needed to replace fossils.

Tur att riksdagen införde en årlig EU-politisk debatt så att partiledarna äntligen fick en arena för att bråka om svensk bensin, svenska kärnkraftverk och svensk invandring.

Verkligen på tiden. Klart Sverige ska rapportera kring skogen i linje med hur andra EU-länder gör och inte hamna i strykklass i onödan. svd.se/a/8JEavx/romin… via Svenska Dagbladet

Ett väldigt bra utfall för skogsindustrins möjlighet att fortsätta bidra både i arbetet med att stärka den biologiska mångfalden och i klimatomställningen.
