  1. The Transnational Action Plan (TAP) for the management of agriculture and forestry resources: an innovative tool Giulio Volpi - Technical Secretariat Ljubljana Conference, 19 October 2007

  2. Database of VT/MT and sampling areas Models for C balance Field measurements Forest and agricultural lands management strategies C sequestration (CO2 adsorption) “INSTRUMENTS” FOR POLICY MAKERS, TECHNICIANS INVOLVED INTO LAND PLANNING AND LOCAL AUTHORITIES Guidelines on how to match models Tool for evaluation of the VT/MT Transnational Action Plan Carbon Pro and the TAP

  3. Planning documents ________ ________ ______ ____ Subsides RDP ________ ______ ____ Target users Guidelines on how to match models • Researchers • Students • “High level” technicians Tool for evaluation of the VT/MT Main results Main users • Policy makers • Regional/local planners • Technicians in public • authorities Transnational Action Plan

  4. OBJECTIVE OF TAP: to explain to policy makers and other “not specialised” technicians relationships among management strategies and C stocking (and more…) …a quite complicated problem Several forms of biomass C stocking Several types of management of the vegetation Several types of vegetation / soil uses Several models for calculating C stocking Several uses of the final products

  5. Index of the TAP Short description of the purposes and the contents of the document Introduction Description of the C cycle and the mechanisms of C stocking/releasing provided by the terrestrial vegetation Carbon cycle and role of the terrestrial vegetation Explanation of the main principles of KP especially concerning AFOLU and some “after 2012” concepts Kyoto Protocol and national policies A large table showing the effects of 18 variations of management strategies on C stocking/releasing and other effects Multiple correlation table General concepts about C stocking and local/regional policies Conclusions

  6. Graphical comments Extended text Multiple correlation table 1 18 variations of management strategies • 11 concerning forest • 7 concerning agriculture • Carbon in the field • Carbon in products • Displaced fossil fuel 3 effects of C sequestrations related to the variations • Environmental effects • Economic effects • Social impacts 3 “other” effects related to the variations

  7. Study area and upscability Limits of study results Laws and political support Areas where can be promoted Multiple correlation table 2 Other elements provided by the table… …for each variation of management strategy

  8. Conclusions TAP is a document: • Concerning KP and C sequestration • Dedicated to policy makers but also citizens, students, farmers… • Shared by a transnational partnership (7 countries) • Easily upgradable (…more variations of management strategies) Thank you for your attention! • …quite ready for publishing!
