C5 – Replicability tools for Policy planning

Objectives:

Elaboration of spatial planning tool for decision support on implementation of the CCM measures in nutrient-rich organic soils at regional and a land parcel level; development of transferability and replicability strategy; soil microbial diversity as a replicability indicator; transferable infrared screening methodology for characterization of organic soils and GHG emissions.

Deliverables:
  • C.5.1. Interim draft report on development of Framework for training sessions for individual stakeholders for application of the developed tool
  • C.5.2. Interim draft report on development of Simulation tool
  • C.5.3. Interim draft report on development of Tables with default parameters for calculations of efficiency of the climate change mitigation measures
  • C.5.4. Data utilised in the model published in 2 peer-reviewed articles by Luke, Silava, UT and LRCAF and presented in at least 2 international scientific conferences
  • C.5.5. Final report on development of Framework for training sessions for individual stakeholders for application of the developed tool
  • C.5.6. Simulation model with spreadsheet interface for a single parcel based calculations of business as usual scenario and different management options
  • C.5.7. Tables with default parameters for calculations of efficiency of the climate change mitigation measures
  • C.5.8. Developed Simulation tool applied in real life conditions at least 5 times in partner countries (1 per country)
The project “Demonstration of climate change mitigation potential of nutrients rich organic soils in Baltic States and Finland” (LIFE OrgBalt, LIFE18 CCM/LV/001158) has received funding from the LIFE Programme of the European Union and the State Regional Development Agency of Latvia. www.orgbalt.eu. The information reflects only the LIFE OrgBalt project beneficiaries’ view and the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency is not responsible for any use that may be made of the information contained therein.
LIFE OrgBalt compiled the first regional Baltic/Finnish GHG emission factors for managed nutrient-rich organic soils (current and former peatlands), which have been made available for the customary scientific review and further verification for national GHG inventories in the hemiboreal region in Finland and the Baltic countries. While the project analysed selected CCM measures for drained organic soils in agriculture and forestry and developed spatial models and tools, it also identified remaining knowledge gaps. To bridge the remaining limitations and fill the gaps, it is essential to continue GHG measurements and model development, as well as to broaden and complete the scope of the evaluated CCM measures in the after-LIFE-project period, notably by including rewetting and restoration of peatlands that are currently considered to be among the most recommended CCM measures on drained peatlands in the EU. In addition, the developed Simulation and PPC models still include limited macroeconomic considerations and lack an assessment of all environmental impacts. For all these reasons, these models should be used carefully in CCM strategy development for the identification of gaps in climate neutrality transition policy and funding frameworks and need further optimization for broader applicability as decision-making tools.
