Unia Europejska jest jednym z najbogatszych w zasoby leśne regionów na świecie. Około 40% jej powierzchni pokrywają lasy. Są one niezbędne dla naszego zdrowia i dobrostanu, a także dla zdrowia naszej planety. Lasy mają dużą różnorodność biologiczną i są bardzo ważne w walce ze zmianą klimatu Unia wie, jak ważne dla naszej przyszłości są lasy Dlatego w 2021 roku przyjęto nową strategię leśną 2030.

Unijna strategia leśna 2030

Lasy na całym świecie zanikają w zatrważającym tempie – co godzinę z powierzchni Ziemi znika obszar zalesiony wielkości 800 boisk piłkarskich. Wylesianie jest jednym z winowajców zmiany klimatu i jest zabójcze dla różnorodności biologicznej. Dlatego jeżeli nie zajmiemy się problemem wylesiania już dziś, nie możemy liczyć na to, że przyszłe pokolenia będą mogły cieszyć się środowiskiem naturalnym. Musimy więc chronić lasy i racjonalnie nimi gospodarować. Organizacja Narodów Zjednoczonych ds. Wyżywienia i Rolnictwa, FAO, szacuje, że od 1990 do 2020 roku straciliśmy 420 milionów hektarów lasów. To więcej niż powierzchnia całej Unii Europejskiej. Ocenia się, że konsumpcja w Unii Europejskiej jest odpowiedzialna za 10% wylesienia na świecie.

Covering nearly one third of the land surface of the globe, forests make a wide range of direct and indirect contributions to human well-being. Home to most of the world's terrestrial biodiversity, they also play an essential role in climate change mitigation, removing about a quarter of the CO2 that human activities add to the atmosphere. Worldwide, millions of hectares of forests and other types of vegetation burn every year. Fire dynamics are shaped by a complex set of factors, including human activity and climate.

W 2017 r. przez Europę przeszła fala niszczycielskich pożarów lasów. W samej tylko Portugalii zginęło ponad 100 osób. Oto co Europa robi, aby zapobiegać pożarom lasów i skutecznie je zwalczać.

Co Europa robi dla osób, które ucierpiały w wyniku pożarów lasów

Worldwide, forests are being lost at the alarming rate of 800 football fields per hour. With deforestation being a critical contributor to climate change and a leading cause of biodiversity loss, it is becoming increasingly clear that a sustainable future cannot be achieved without tackling deforestation and taking measures to protect- and sustainably manage forests.&nbsp; The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)&nbsp;estimates&nbsp;that 420 million hectares of forest — an area larger than the EU — were lost to deforestation between 1990 and 2020. It is estimated that&nbsp;EU consumption represents around 10% of global deforestation.

&nbsp;In October 2020, Parliament made use of its&nbsp;prerogative in the Treaty&nbsp;to ask the Commission to&nbsp;come forward with legislation to halt EU-driven global deforestation.

MEPs have already called for strengthening the overall climate benefits from forests and the forest-based value chain, namely CO2 absorption and carbon storage in wood-based products. Parliament also emphasises the need to increase funding for research into the substitution of fossil fuels and fossil-fuel materials. Forests and the entire forest-based value chain are fundamental to further develop of the circular bio-economy, which delivers important climate change mitigation and adaptation services.Parliament wants binding targets to protect and restore forest ecosystems, especially primary forests (those that have not been been affected by people's actions in recent times).

An area larger than the EU was lost to deforestation from 1990 to 2020, with EU consumption causing around 10% of losses. A new law on deforestation-free products will make obligatory for companies to issue a so-called “due diligence” statement that goods on the EU market have not led to deforestation or forest degradation anywhere in the world. The largest share of EU-driven deforestation commodities are: palm oil (33,95%), soy (32,83%), wood (8,62%), cocoa (7,54%), coffee (7,01%) and beef (5,01%. This infoclip shows footgae of a person unpacking common groceries deriving from these commodities, a child consuming chocolate spread without palm oil as well as footage of deforestaion in Brazil.

MEPs debate and vote on key EU draft laws to combat climate change by drastically reducing greenhouse gas emissions and to protect jobs and citizens. Parliament is set to adopt its position on eight proposals that are part of the “Fit for 55 in 2030 package”. This is the EU’s plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels and have net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (climate neutrality) by 2050, in line with the European Climate Law. The texts approved will be Parliament’s mandate for negotiations with EU governments on the final laws. Statement by Ville NIINISTÖ on the Land use, land use change and forestry report.

W Europie jest coraz mniej pochłaniaczy dwutlenku węgla. Aby pomóc w osiągnięciu unijnego celu zerowej emisji netto do 2050 r., Parlament Europejski zmienia przepisy dotyczące użytkowania gruntów tak, aby grunty rolne, a także lasy, wrzosowiska i tereny podmokłe mogły wychwytywać więcej dwutlenku węgla i przyczyniać się do ograniczenia globalnego ocieplenia.

Forests are essential for our health and wellbeing, and the health of the planet. They are rich in biodiversity and are hugely important in the fight against climate change. The new EU forest strategy for 2030 is one of the flagship initiatives of the European Green Deal and builds on the EU biodiversity strategy for 2030. This Infoclip illustrates heathy and green forest, nature, undergrowth, deforestation, burn wood after fire forest, wood transformation and storage

Lasy pokrywają prawie połowę terytorium UE. Odgrywają kluczową rolę w walce ze zmianą klimatu i w ochronie bioróżnorodności. Europosłowie chcą mieć pewność, że Strategia Leśna UE pomoże lasom i leśnictwu. Strategia ta ma na celu połączyć polityki krajowe ze środowiskowymi celami UE.

Europa potrzebuje zdrowych lasów do walki ze zmianą klimatu.
