Emissions of greenhouse and compensatory interventions in the forestry sector: an application into the forest of the city of Acerno

Conference

September 24 , Acerno (SA)

The aim of the conference is to explore the opportunities to forest owners, public and private, and rural communities to "internalize" the services that forests provide following the national policies of mitigation and adaptation to climate change and supply of woody biomass for energy purposes.
During the press-conference, will be presented the ISPRA report "Emissions of greenhouse gases and compensatory interventions in the forestry sector: an application to the forests of the city of Acerno." The report, written by L. Ciccarese, C. Cascone, S. Cipollaro and V. Giovannelli, is the final result of the agreement between the City of Acerno and the Department of Nature Protection of Ispra. It provides some guidance to local decision-makers regarding the choice to integrate or not the component of carbon fixation in the management objectives of their forests. The idea of ??the authors of the report is that the approach and methodology used can be extended to other situations in rural and forest land on the Italian territory.
