In its ‘Stepping up Europe’s 2030 climate ambition’, the Commission proposes to reduce GHG emissions by at least 55% by 2030 to achieve climate neutrality in 2050. The Communication proposes to move towards a more stringent contribution from the LULUCF sector, thereby creating a newly regulated land sector. In this context, results-based carbon farming schemes, a key priority of the French presidency, can incentivise farmers to deliver on their climate mitigation ambitions.
