Abstract
Preface
This report is in accordance with the regulation EU 2018/841 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the inclusion of greenhouse gas emissions and removals from land-use, land-use change, and forestry in the 2030 climate and energy framework, and amending Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 and Decision No
529/2013/EU.
The report provide a description of the accounting for greenhouse gasses related to forestry. The perspective on sustainable forest management is described by forest regulation and policies, as well as by providing an overview of key indicators for sustainable forest management in Denmark. The main product is the Forest Reference Level, based on the requirements given in the Regulation (EU 2018) and based on the available data. The Forest Reference Level is hereby a prediction of the expected emissions/uptake by the forests of Denmark in the period 2021-2030, based on the data from the reference period 2000-2009.
This will subsequently be utilised as baseline (reference level) for the Danish accounting for forests.
The report is produced by the Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management (IGN) as part of the SINKS2 project, funded by The Danish Ministry of Climate, Energy and Utilities, Denmark and for the same ministry. Data from the Danish National Forest Inventory is utilised and is funded by the Ministry of Environment and Food.
