EUは1990年以降大幅に排出を削減したが、LULUCF吸収源は並行して強化されていない。2024年のEU-27吸収源は約−231MtCO₂eで、2030年の拘束力ある−310MtCO₂e目標に対し40〜55MtCO₂eの不足がある。森林成長鈍化、伐採増、気候撹乱、バイオマス需要増が吸収を弱め、在庫の不確実性も大きい。政策が想定する安定的・拡張可能な陸域除去は生物物理的制約下で成立しにくいと指摘する。
English
The EU has cut emissions sharply since 1990, but its LULUCF sink has not strengthened in parallel, leaving a 40–55 MtCO₂e gap to the binding −310 MtCO₂e 2030 target. Declining forest growth, harvesting, disturbances, and biomass demand weaken uptake, while inventory uncertainty remains high. Current policy implicitly assumes stable, scalable land removals that biophysical limits and disturbance sensitivity contradict.

日本のGX文脈において
EUのLULUCF目標と吸収源の実態乖離は、日本がSSBJ・有報でScope3や除去量を開示する際の「吸収源の不確実性・反転リスク」評価に直結する。森林吸収をカーボンニュートラル計画に組み込む日本企業・政策当局にとって、除去量の信頼性評価枠組みの必要性を示す。
In the global GX context
This speaks directly to ISSB/CSRD-era disclosure of removals and reversal risk: it shows that land-based removals are disturbance-sensitive and uncertain, challenging the assumption of scalable sinks embedded in net-zero frameworks. It offers a template for evaluating removal capacity (stock change, delivery time, uncertainty, reversal exposure) that global standard-setters and transition-finance practitioners should adopt.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Abstract The European Union has substantially reduced greenhouse-gas emissions since 1990, yet the land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) sink has not strengthened in parallel. The EU-27 LULUCF balance was approximately −231 MtCO₂e in 2024, while the latest Member State projections indicate a remaining gap of 40–55 MtCO₂e to the binding −310 MtCO₂e target for 2030. Here, we synthesise recent assessments to examine the drivers of this weakening in the land carbon sink and their implications for the effectiveness of climate mitigation policy. Declining forest growth, increased harvesting, climate-driven disturbances, and rising biomass demand reduce net carbon uptake, with one 2040 GLOBIOM sensitivity analysis indicating an approximately 100 MtCO₂e reduction in the LULUCF sink under an additional 20 Mtoe of woody-biomass demand. Concurrently, the EU inventory reported 52.7% uncertainty in the 2022 LULUCF level and 29.4% uncertainty in its trend, while important soil-carbon dynamics remain incompletely represented. These findings indicate that current climate policy frameworks implicitly assume stable, scalable, and rapidly deliverable land-based removals, whereas land carbon sinks are dynamic, disturbance-sensitive, and constrained by biophysical limits. Addressing this mismatch requires land-removal plans to be evaluated through dependable removal capacity, combining expected annual net removal with stock change, delivery time, inventory uncertainty, disturbance and reversal exposure, and competition for land and biomass.
