A pilot study of the climate credit market will be implemented in two European regions, Catalonia and Veneto, placing developers in contact with local buyers committed to the mitigation of climate change.
Areas of action
Montmell LU
The area included in the action totals 9.5 ha. It includes Aleppo pine woods in a post-fire coastal area, with some stands untreated and others that have received treatment on previous occasions. A group of Aleppo pine has been planted, grafted with stone pine stylet scions.
Vall de Rialb LU
The area included in the action totals 11.1 ha. The action has focused on mature Austrian pine and Scots pine woods within a Pre-Pyrenees/Central Catalonia climate. Enrichment planting was performed in a post-fire Portuguese oak grove.
Les Aspres LU
The area included in the action totals 21.9 ha. The actions have been carried out on adult cork oaks and other post-fire regenerated stands. A group of Aleppo pine has been planted.
Replans de Berguedà LU
The area included in the action totals 12.4 ha, involving pure and mixed post-fire deciduous oak, Aleppo pine, Scots pine and Austrian pine woods.
Capçaleres del Llobregat LU
The area included in the action totals 8.64 ha, involving adult Scots pine woods within a Pre-Pyrenees/Central Catalonia climate.
Serres d’Ancosa LU
The area included in the action totals 13.7 ha, involving adult Aleppo pine woods within a coastal climate. Enrichment planting has also been carried out with noble broad-leaved trees.
In order to complete these actions, two agroforestry plantations have been carried out, in areas other than those described, and cork oak and cherry tree plantations from several years back were monitored. In total, these other actions have involved an area of 10.61 ha.
Mitigation and adaption actions
- Management of stands in the post-fire regeneration phase.
- Forest management in adult stands.
- Forestations: Forestry and agroforestry plantations.
- Forest management practices with an impact on the carbon balance in the soil.
- Strategic management for forest fire prevention.
Design of the voluntary Climate Credit market
The voluntary climate credit market aims to put developers (owners of forests containing woodland that can mitigate climate change) in touch with buyers (companies committed to the environment that need to offset their emissions) with the goal of generating economic activity that ensures profitability through multifunctional and mitigating forest management. This design of the market will be solid, transparent, non-exclusive and supervised by an independent third party. The developers and buyer companies that are to form part of the climate credit market will be duly identified.
Action C6 of the LIFE Climark project provides for the design of the climate credit market. Prior to this design, an information search exercise has been performed with the aim of analysing the response offered by the different compensatory mechanisms to the problems that are found most habitually: the project’s additionality, temporality and permanence, action monitoring and verification, and the integration of quantitative and qualitative variables in the climate credit.

Un interessant estudi confirma que l'estructura actual del bosc és la principal responsable de la reducció de la taxa de segrest de carboni i de l'exportació d'aigua als boscos catalans. Destaca el paper de la gestió forestal els propers anys 🙌

Iniciem el seguiment permanent de la molsa #Buxbaumiaviridis, espècie de flora amenaçada i d'interès comunitari per la UE, que habita en fusta morta i de la que la #XarxaNatura2000 estableix que cal mantenir un estat de conservació favorable. https://twitter.com/MiquelJover/status/1321184522952691715
Comencem a instal·lar les primeres parcel·les de seguiment de la molsa Buxbaumia viridis, per encàrrec del @pnaltpirineu. Es tracta d'un briòfit que viu dins de fusta de pi i avet en descomposició. #briòfits #molsa #floraprotegida #Pirineus
La plantació d'arbres és més eficient si va acompanyada d'una gestió forestal intel·ligent que potenciï la capacitat d'absorbir #CO2 #GoLifeClimark
L'ONG de Saragossa ECODES ha posat en marxa "Arxipèlag de Boscos" per plantar 3 milions d'arbres a Espanya i lluitar contra la crisi climàtica: en els pròxims 20 anys una captura de 90.000 tones de CO₂.
Si vols unir-te i seguir sumant les plantacions🌲
