Uniunea Europeană este una dintre cele mai împădurite regiuni din lume: circa 40 % din suprafața sa este acoperită de păduri. Ele sunt esențiale pentru sănătatea și starea noastră de bine, dar și pentru sănătatea planetei. Sunt bogate în biodiversitate și extrem de importante pentru a combate schimbările climatice. Uniunea este conștientă de rolul pe care pădurile îl pot juca în viitor. De aceea a adoptat, în 2021, noua Strategie pentru păduri pentru 2030.

Strategia Uniunii Europene pentru păduri pentru 2030

Ritmul defrișărilor care au loc la nivel mondial este deosebit de alarmant. Dispar suprafețe împădurite echivalente cu 800 de stadioane de fotbal pe oră. Despăduririle agravează foarte mult schimbările climatice și sunt una dintre principalele cauze ale scăderii biodiversității. Este din ce în ce mai clar că putem asigura un viitor sustenabil doar prin reducerea defrișărilor. Trebuie să luăm măsuri pentru a proteja și gestiona sustenabil pădurile. Organizația Națiunilor Unite pentru Alimentație și Agricultură (FAO) estimează că în ultimii 30 de ani am pierdut la nivel mondial 420 de milioane de hectare de pădure – o suprafață mai mare decât a Uniunii Europene. Potrivit estimărilor, consumul în Uniunea Europeană este responsabil de aproximativ 10 % din despăduririle de la nivel mondial.

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.

În 2017, incendii forestiere devastatoare au afectat întreaga Europă. Doar în Portugalia și-au pierdut viața peste 100 de persoane. Dacă aceste catastrofe v-au afectat, puteți afla mai departe ce face Uniunea pentru a preveni și combate incendiile forestiere.

Ce face Europa pentru persoanele afectate de incendiile forestiere

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.

Suprafețele cu potențial absorbant de carbon ale Europei sunt în declin. Pentru a contribui la atingerea obiectivului de neutralitate a emisiilor de dioxid de carbon al UE până în 2050, Parlamentul European modifică legislația cu privire la utilizarea terenurilor, astfel încât terenurile agricole precum și pădurile, mlaștinile și turbăriile să poată absorbi mai mult carbon în vederea reducerii încălzirii globale.

The Environment Committee of the European Parliament debates with Virginijus SINKEVIČIUS, Commissioner for Environment, Oceans and Fisheries, about the proposed new legislation that the European Parliament called for in order to stop EU-driven global deforestation and forest degradation by obliging companies placing products on the EU market to carry out due diligence. Extracts from the exchange of views and statement by rapporteur Delara BURKHARDT (S&D,DE).

European Parliament's legislative proposal to reduce the risk of deforestation/forest degradation: extracts from exchange between ENVI Committee and Virginijus Sinkevičius Commissioner for Environment, statement by rapporteur Delara BURKHARDT (S&D,DE

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.

Pădurile acoperă aproape jumătate din UE. Acestea joacă un rol major în lupta împotriva schimbărilor climatice și în protejarea biodiversității noastre. Deputații europeni doresc să se asigure că Strategia privind pădurile din UE poate ajuta pădurile și poate face mai prosper sectorul forestier. Strategia își propune să acționeze ca o punte între politicile naționale și obiectivele de mediu ale UE.

Europa are nevoie de păduri sănătoase pentru combaterea schimbărilor climatice.
