Abstract

Land use, land-use change, and forestry (LULUCF) sector plays an important role in climate change mitigation as long-term goal of carbon neutral economy depends on sector’s ability to sequestrate carbon in biomass and soil. With reference to the Paris Agreement, accounting rules for LULUCF sector have been heavily discussed in European Union (EU), seeking of trustworthy inclusion of the sector in the assessment of Union’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction target. Therefore, the paper aims to analyze LULUCF sector’s contribution to climate change mitigation with different accounting rules applied in EU countries and particularly in Lithuania. On EU level LULUCF sector’s absorption in 2019 has equaled around –234 million t CO2 eq. (6% of total EU GHG emissions), in some countries reaching more than a half of national emissions. However, different accounting rules applied may provide significantly different number of potential credits for separate EU countries, creating some “winners” and “losers” situation. Though inclusion of LULUCF sector into GHG’s emissions reduction targets remains discussible, some stability in rules is one of the main preconditions for proper LULUCF sector management decisions.
LULUCF会计准则对减缓气候变化目标的影响:输赢?
土地利用、土地利用的变化和林业(LULUCF)部门在缓解气候变化方面发挥着重要作用,因为碳中和的经济的长期目标取决于该部门在生物量和土壤中固碳的能力。关于《巴黎协定》,欧洲联盟(欧盟)对土地利用、土地利用的变化和林业部门的会计规则进行了大量讨论,寻求将该部门可靠地纳入欧盟温室气体减排目标的评估。因此,本文旨在通过欧盟国家,特别是立陶宛适用的不同会计规则,分析土地利用、土地利用的变化和林业部门对缓解气候变化的贡献。在欧盟层面上,土地利用、土地利用的变化和林业部门2019年的吸收量约为2.34亿吨二氧化碳当量(占欧盟温室气体排放总量的6%),在一些国家达到了全国排放量的一半以上。然而,适用的不同会计规则可能会为不同的欧盟国家提供明显不同数量的潜在信贷,从而造成一些“赢家”和“输家”的情况。尽管将土地利用、土地利用的变化和林业部门纳入温室气体减排目标仍有待讨论,但规则的一些稳定性是土地利用、林业和林业部门适当管理决策的主要先决条件之一。
