The Project Aim
To support the forestry systems in CO2 storage and in preventing fire and windthrow risks by:
- Identifying a set of ecosystem services and assessing their benefits;
- Improving forestry and forest-based industry systems;
- Creating an ecosystem credit to finance the same ecosystem services.
The main forecasted results concern the environmental and socio-economic impacts of the LIFE CO2PES&PEF Project which will contribute to improving forestry management by increasing CO2 absorption, mitigating hydrogeological risks and preventing fire and windthrow risks that would result in additional CO2 emissions.
