It could be said the Department is doing its bit on that given the licencing system it has at the moment, though I do not know if that is its intention. This is obviously very serious because this is to make up a big part of our commitment under LULUCF and is part of the climate action plan. Thus, in all reality, with the best management in place do the witnesses see a scenario given the current rates of planting - and even with a substantial improvement up to 3,500 ha per annum - whereby we could get up to 0.8 Mt per year by 2030, or more importantly 2.1 Mt post-2030, which is what the climate action plan states?
