Commission adopts rules and launches initiatives to boost carbon removals and carbon farming in the EU
December 1, 2025 | European Commission |
The European Commission adopted new rules and initiatives to expand carbon removals and carbon farming across the EU, aiming to standardize monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) and strengthen market credibility. Complementary measures include the creation of an EU Buyers’ Club to aggregate voluntary demand and generate income streams for farmers and foresters, and the launch of an EU Carbon Farming Database to improve MRV efficiency and reduce costs. The framework also allows for group auditing and third-party verification, easing administrative burdens for smallholders. Together, these measures seek to attract private investment and integrate land-based removals into broader climate strategies, while raising questions around permanence, additionality, and farmer participation.
