The EU's LULUCF regulation defines how forests and farmland count in Europe's climate ledger. Understand what it means – for nature, for agriculture, and for the future.
The Rough Guide to LULUCF is an accessible introduction to the EU regulation on Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry — better known as LULUCF.
The regulation is a cornerstone of EU climate policy. It sets binding targets for how much CO₂ forests and land areas must absorb or may release. For many member states, navigating these rules is both technically complex and politically sensitive.
This guide walks through the key rules in plain language, explains the most important concepts, and unpacks what the updated LULUCF regulation means in practice — for forest owners, farmers, and policymakers alike.
