Frits Mohren: summary of his comments: the conditions make that for Wageningen University this project is less interesting to participate in. Some time ago we have intensively worked on carbon sequestration, however the research got quite technical which made it less interesting. Certainly very useful, but little innovative when one is interested in ecosystem research. Probably this is not the case for policy-related research. Afraid there may be other clear organsations profiled. I guess someone like Richard Tipper of the Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Management (zie www.eccm.uk.com) will be close. Very busy period at the department with many new researchers so simply no time. Don't want to discourage + interested to help out by providing information or comment on the draft but not in a active role for our department.

Dr Simon Lewis of the School of Geography, Earth and Biosphere Institute, researches the impacts and interactions of multiple anthropogenic global change phenomena and tropical forests. The results from this research will be of great societal importance for two reasons. Firstly, will surviving tropical forests remain a carbon sink - currently equivalent to the fossil fuel emissions of entire European Union - or will rising temperatures and other changes cause them to become a source? Secondly, as tropical forests house more than half the world's species, the interactive balance of millions of plant and animal species is bound to change, even within the largest areas of forest. What does this mean for global biodiversity conservation? On the ground monitoring of forests, as this project proposes, to understand how, when and where changes in composition and carbon balance of tropical forests are occurring will provide essential information, possibly including early warnings of more radical changes. This will assist policy makers and wider civil society to make better-informed choices about the kind of future world we want to live in. s.l.lewis@leeds.ac.uk

biodiversity economy

Tom Bade milieu-econoom, KPMG, Trouw 30 sept. 2006 "De Veluwe levert jaarlijks zes miljoen aan baten op"

... zo houden de relatief jonge Veluwse bomen jaarlijks 180 000 ton CO2 vast. Daar valt klinkende munt uit te slaan want rond dit broeikasgas is een hele emissiehandel ontstaan. Bade noteert hiervoor ruim 3,5 miljoen euro per jaar.

Email: ---> Deze bossen tellen niet mee; zijn wanneer aangeplant? emissiehandel niet mogelijk , hoe voorspelt hij deze inkomsten? Wat zal er moeten gebeuren?

Biodiversity

Informatieplatform voor Biologische Diversiteit

Dit informatieplatform is de Nederlandse bijdrage aan het internationale uitwisselingsmechanisme (Clearing-House Mechanism; CHM)) onder de Conventie inzake Biologische Diversiteit (CBD). Door middel van dit mechanisme kunnen partijen van de Conventie elkaar over en weer informeren over de nationale situatie betreffende biologische diversiteit en de uitvoering van de bepalingen van de CBD. Het CHM is ook bedoeld om (internationale) samenwerking op wetenschappelijk en technologisch gebied te bevorderen.

Dit informatieplatform (NL CHM) is in feite een toegangspoort tot wat er in ons land op het gebied van biologische diversiteit en de CBD zoal speelt. De web site geeft daarnaast algemene informatie over het begrip biodiversiteit en brengt U in contact met relevante instanties en instellingen.

- Funds:

    • Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) enables conservation action and builds capacity for sustainability in biodiversity hotspots, the Earth’s biologically richest and most endangered regions. Apply for grants

    • The Global Environment Facility (GEF), established in 1991, helps developing countries fund projects and programs that protect the global environment. GEF grants support projects related to biodiversity, climate change, international waters, land degradation, the ozone layer, and persistent organic pollutants.

Private sector

- Banks/Investors:

    • The BioCarbon Fund, the World Bank’s fund dedicated to carbon sinks (sequestration of CO2 by vegetation growth or soil). Created in November 2003 and operational in May 2004, it currently comprises three governments (Italy, Canada and Spain), five Japanese companies, the French company EcoCarbone and the French Development Agency. This fund will participate in the financing of projects that meet the Kyoto criteria (afforestation and reforestation), but also projects outside this framework (conservation, long-term forest management, agro-forestry, etc.), which for the time being do not qualify for carbon credits. The projects will have to factor in bio-diversity components, soil conservation and development, notably on behalf of communities living in a rural environment. The fund’s expected life will be between 15 and 18 years.
