    Hydrofluorocarbon emission reduction: a crucial contribution to climate protection
    (Umweltbundesamt, 2021) Graaf, Daniel de; Elsner, Cornelia; Graaf, Daniel de ; Hoffmann, Gabriele; Martens, Kerstin; Plehn, Wolfgang; Thalheim, Diana; Deutschland. Umweltbundesamt
    Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are the dominant fraction of fluorinated greenhouse gases, also known as F-gases. HFC emissions in the European Union (EU) amounted to 112 million tonnes CO2 equivalent (Mt CO2eq.) in 2018. This amounts to 2,2% of the EU's total greenhouse gas emissions. Main sources of HFC emissions are refrigeration and air conditioning plants and appliances. Following a proposal by the EU Commission, EU member states and the EU parliament just recently agreed to increase the 2030 target from 40% to 55% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions compared to the 1990 level. This considerable step-up of climate ambition by more than a third needs to be reflected also in the revision process of the F-gas Regulation, regardless of the achievements already made to curb F-gas emissions. On the occasion of the F-gas Regulation revision, the German Environment Agency proposes the acceleration of the phase-down scenario, resulting in larger reduction steps from 2024 on and a final level of 10% of the baseline by 2030 compared to 21% according to the current schedule.

    Regulatory framework for the certification of carbon removals - remarks on the EU commission's roadmap
    (Umweltbundesamt, 2022) Bretschneider, Lisa; Balzer, Frederike; Erxleben, Friederike; Döring, Ulrike; Hipt, Kirsten op de ; Köder, Lea; Hipt, Kirsten op de; Marx, Marc; Ruddigkeit, Dana; Voß-Stemping, Judith; Deutschland. Umweltbundesamt
    On 15.12.2021, the European Commission announces to create a legal framework in a communication on "Sustainable carbon cycles" according to which procedures for natural carbon sequestration and technical CO2 extraction and storage can be certified. By the end of 2022, the European Commission wants to make a legislative proposal. In this short position, the German Environment Agency points to gaps in the European Commission's proposal, refers to essential minimum requirements for the certification of carbon sequestrations and calls for a clearer integration of the certification framework with regard to its steering effect and its steering objective in the climate protection target architecture of the European Union.

    Tackling the climate and biodiversity crises in Europe through Urban Greening Plans
    (Umweltbundesamt, 2023) Wilk, Bettina; Schröder, Alice; Vetter, Andreas; ICLEI - Local Goverments for Sustainability. Europasekretariat GmbH (Freiburg im Breisgau); Deutschland. Umweltbundesamt
    To systematically bring nature back to cities, the EU Biodiversity Strategy calls upon cities with over 20,000 inhabitants to develop Urban Greening Plans (UGP). Nature based solutions (NbS) are at the centre of UGPs, addressing climate resilient infrastructures and biodiversity in cities together. They should agree with existing planning instruments. This paper points towards the need for enabling governance, regulatory and financing frameworks and guidance, accompanying future UGP, leading to five recommendations. Quelle: www.umweltbundesamt.de

    What issues need to be addressed in the RED II draft to ensure environmental integrity and net climate benefit of bioenergy use
    (Umweltbundesamt, 2018) Deutschland. Umweltbundesamt
    With this scientific opinion paper, we aim to raise awareness for some issues leading to insufficient GHG savings and potentially causing a gap between two climate and energy legislative frameworks of the European Union: the recast of the Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) and the Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry Regulation (LULUCF Regulation).
