Assessment of forest-carbon sinks and promotion of compensation systems as tools for climate change mitigation (LIFE FOREST CO2)
Start date: Jan 2, 2016, End date: Dec 30, 2019,
Background
Despite increasing awareness in the land use, land use change and forestry sectors (LULUCF) concerning climate change action, reflected in Decision 529/2013/EU, the emissions and carbon sink effect generated by sustainable forest management (SFM) strategies are not included in the EUâs greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction objectives (40% ...

Best agricultural practices for Climate Change: Integrating strategies for mitigation and adaptation (Life+ ClimAgri)
Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2018,
Background
According to the European Environment Agency, agriculture is the fourth highest greenhouse gas emitting sector in the EU, accounting for 9.9% of GHG emissions in 2011.
The agricultural sector, moreover, is particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Consequently, the sector faces the challenge of mitigating climate change and a ...

Adaptation and mitigation measures to climate change in the Ebro Delta (LIFE EBRO-ADMICLIM)
Start date: Jun 2, 2014, End date: Jun 1, 2018,
Background
The Ebro Delta in Catalonia is a wetland of international importance, and is considered one of the coastal systems most vulnerable to climate change in the European Union. The delta is undergoing a loss of wetlands and rice paddies because of coastal regression, caused by diminishing fluvial sediments, which are retained in the reservoirs of th ...

Sustainable agriculture in Carbon arithmetics (LIFE+AGRICARBON)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
Background
Emissions of atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations from agriculture account for 10% of the GHGs at a global level. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in farming come mainly from ploughing, which causes soil carbon loss. Conservation Agriculture (CA) can play a significant role here, as a provider of carbon sinks to counteract emissions. Precisi ...
