NEUTRACA - Carbon footprint of the PROTEGE project and recommandations development for neutralization prospects
Partners
Main goals
The 4th Steering Committee of the PROTEGE project (May 2022) requested that the project carry out an assessment of the contributions of the project to the positive or negative impact factors of carbon emissions by category of activity according to the sectors covered by PROTEGE (agriculture, forestry, fisheries, aquaculture, food systems, wetlands, etc.). The objective is to identify the emission or sequestration of carbon in order to have recommendations for in setting interventions requested by the territories
Specific objectives
SO1. Carry out the project's carbon footprint (travel, impact of equipment installed and activities carried out in the field, etc.)
SO2. The carbon footprint should also include the project's contributions to carbon sequestration (conversion of agricultural land to agroforestry, increase of organic matter levels, diversification in aquaculture, restoration of watersheds, invasive alien species control, etc.)
SO3. Provide recommendations for intervention (with details of the funding required) so that the project can support/strengthen its support for actions contributing to moving towards carbon neutrality of the territories, from analysis of project activities
