NGO response to Finland and Sweden’s comments on EU forestry rules
Recent comments from the Finnish and Swedish Prime Ministers have called for the weakening of the Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) Regulation. Their position undermines the whole purpose of carbon accounting and their proposed actions prioritise short-term interests of a single sector over long-term societal health and resilience.
EU policy should be science-led and guided by public interest rather than industry lobbying.
In this joint letter, over 50 NGOs respond to the comments from the leaders of Sweden and Finland.
