Analysis of potentials and costs of LULUCF use by EU Member States (EU-LULUCF)
Abstract
The objectives of this project are to (i) make a consistent projection for the net emissions from LULUCF by 2020 and 2030 under business-as-usual conditions, (ii) assess alternative policy options for handling LULUCF emissions to support the international climate negotiations and the implementation of an international agreement at EU level for each EU member state, and (iii) to estimate the potentials and costs for further reducing net emissions/enhancing sinks from LULUCF by 2020 and 2030 for each EU member state. The analysis contains the application of a suite of models (detailed forestry and agricultural models and economic land use optimization models) to assess competing mitigation options among land use sectors and EU Member State countries.
