Parks, hedges, tree lines and woodlands are needed all over Europe

EURAF welcomes many of the commitments in yesterday's European Commission communication entitled Securing our future: Europe's 2040 climate target and the path to climate neutrality by 2050, building a sustainable, fair and prosperous society. “We regret that the section stating that Europe's combined forestry and agriculture sector could be completely climate neutral by 2035 was deleted at the last minute.

However, we expect that neutrality in the soil sector is still possible for the European Union until 2040, but only if an emergency program of planting trees outside the forest is in place. It should focus on areas where trees will bring the greatest benefit to the environment and carbon sequestration, and where there will be the least reduction in agricultural production," says the EURAF press release.
