CarboMark: a voluntary alternative to compensation Recent data concerning the implementation of Kyoto Protocol demonstrate that strategies adopted until now have not enough contributed to mitigate the increasing of GHG in atmosphere and the climatic change. While technological innovation related to the emissions' reduction is still to come, the offset of CO2 from forests could constitute a temporary but important strategy for mitigating the effects of high GHG concentration on climate change. The CarboMark market will trade credits from a wide set of agro-forestry activities, including forest management, long lived wood products and urban forestry with the aim of reducing Green House Gas emissions. A carbon credit is an intangible commodity generated by an activity that absorbs carbon dioxide or avoids other GHG emissions. The main feature of the market is that carbon credits will be generated by activities carried out at the local level. CarboMark is a pilot action for a local voluntary carbon market ASSUMPTION THE PROJECT

Notes de l'éditeur
Hello Everybody. It’a a plesure to be here for the second time. I’m Gabriella and as you know I’m a teacher at Venice University Ca’ Foscari where I teach environmental matters. I’m also technical director of an environmental engineering company and our work is to have a EIA or SEA of projects and urbanistic plans
During my presentation I will talk about these topics:
The vision of my company is to understand the environmental impacts in the territory, then to plan the solutions to improve the environment and finally to manage the decisions and control the indicators.
So eAmbiente is divided in 4 teams working on different issues like: Environmental Assessment and planning which includes…. Then Environmental regeneration and remediation which means… Then …. Finally…..
This is a picture of my team which is composed of experts graduated in these subjects like… We have a constant training on specific skills and we also call some qualified consultants of different nationalities in order to…..
These are some examples of projects of every division. We are the scientific coordinator of this project called Città Sostenibile-Sustainable city. The aim is to collect the best practices to manage the environmental impacts of the cities: like the project on sustainable mobility or renewable energy in the cities or other….
Last year during the exhibition we were pleased to received the visit of the Chinese ambassador in Italy. He came to know better the project exposed and in particular a chinese one dealing with the Caofeidian Eco-city Master Plan of Tangshan presented by Tsinghua Institute of Urban Planning & Design-Beijing.
Coming back to eAmbiente projects, I would like to explain you this pilot project that we are working on: it regards the increase on GreenHouse Gases (GHG) in atmosphere. We are studing the compensation of through local initiatives.
Here there are some other projects dealing with application of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in new companies like sugar production and waste treatment and energy production from organic waste.
SEA results from the application of the European Directive 2001/42/EC… In Italy, SEA is specified by the second part of….
I have already talk about the Directive last year but now I want to introduce the issues again and then add more details as you asked me. This Directive sets a framework for the future development and assures the monitoring of significant environmental effects resulting form the implementation of plans and programmes
When do we apply the SEA? Here is a list of plans and programmes that require SEA, as Agricultural plans, forestry, tourism…..
Why do we apply the SEA? To provide sustainable development in the territory To enable… … . So the application of sea allowa us to set strategic objectives, to build and assess alternatives….
So you can understand that SEA is an assessment that we must apply when the governament decides about the development of the city and its planning. The SEA requires an environmental report which is the first step to know the state and conduction of the enviroment. So the contents of the Environmental Report (ER) are the description of some components like air, watrer, soil. It describes the effects of strategic interventions on the city like a new motorway, a new urbanistic area and so on…. The single intervention is subjected to a specific Environmental Impact Assessment.
Three sides of application of SEA taking into consideration not only the environmetal aspects of the assessment but also the social and the economical ones These 3 aspects are particularly important nowadays because in Europe we have big intercultural comunity so the social aspects need to take into account the different cultures.
What about methodology
The construction of a sectorial plan goes along with the assessment of the effects. There are 3 moments of assessment: ex ante… In itinere… And finally ex post assessment which is the subsequent evaluation of the sustainability of thr plan and following implementation
In this slide we have more details about the process with the indication of the activities related to the considered procedures. I want to stress (sottolineare) two important element of them: the consultation step, in which people express their opinion influencing the plan possibility of implementation of plan intervening with corrective action by monitoring.
The purple column shows the urbanistic plan and the green column shouw in detail the sea process. Both the urbanistic plan and the SEA process have to be done at the same time
If a problem arises, you have to re-start the process from the beginning only for the issues affected by the problem. The same happens if there is a need for a change in the urbanistic plan.
Before explaining in detail the process, I want to present a project that eAmbiente had contributed to realize. DIVAS is an European project …
The DIVAS is made of different steps and in the rest of the presentation I’ll focus on some concepts that you are interested in like indicators, alternatives, DPSIR model using some images obtained using this software.
To do this we need indicators. How to choose them? And how to finf related data? What are the characteristics that an indicator should have? The indicators should….
For example, during the development of DIVAS, we have made a great work of selection of avalaible indicators proposed by national or international authorities, like….
Then we organized all the indicators in tables according to the source and then we compared them with one another. Here for example, as far as biodiversity, flora and fauna, you can see the result of our check
Then we proceeded to select a core set of indicators and to create an internal database to help users in the choice.
Finally we created a database reporting all the indicators of the core set which also contain a explicative document. This document shows where the user can find data to calculate indicator and how to calculate ut.
However, in the Veneto Region there is also a codified metodology in collecting data. The format is know as…
There are different kind of data . Here, for example, there is the representation of a litological map of a territory in geografical format called shapefile.
The cognitive framework is divided into 12 thematic areas and every area has its own indicators. Data about every indicator are produced by Competent Authority. In this and in the following slides I want to show the structure of the cognitive framework for every thematic area with the indication of the competent autority and the data type.
For air
For climate
For water

As you remember the first step of the SEA is to produce a preliminary environmental report to outline the existing environmental problems in the territory and their connection with plan’s macro-goals
The step of processing and editing is related with the elaboration of Environmental Report. The contents of the environmental report are established by the first annex of the directive 42/2001/EC are: … ..
… ..But the setting-up of a plan requires the collection and processing of all land and environmental information.
