ECO-SMART

ECO-SMART Market of Ecosystem services for an Advanced NATURA2K Area Protection Policy
Priority Axis 3

Protecting and promoting natural and cultural resources

Specific Objective: 
OS 3.2.
Investment Priority: 
PI 6d
Typology: 
Standard
Overall Objective of the Project: 

The overall objective of the project was to the conservation of the biodiversity in NATURA 2K ITA-SLO sites thanks to the development and pilot application of eco systemic services (ESS) / payment systems for eco systemic services (PES) methods for drafting adaptation plans to climate change. It also contributed to the CO23 objective by establishing a common, scalable and replicable ESS / PES system, planning and implementing biodiversity protection measures thanks to pilot actions, courses and workshops on ESS and PES and capitalization actions in the regulatory framework of the regions.

Project summary: 

The EU affirmed the strategic role of protecting ecosystems in mitigating the climate changes effects, while supporting the resilience of territories. The ECO-SMART faced the challenge of improving the challenge of improved capacity of monitoring climate change and planning appropriate adaptation measures to avoid negative effects undermining the quality of biodiversity in the areas NATURA 2000. The general objective of the ECO-SMART project is to evaluate and to test the crossborder economic feasibility of biodiversity safeguard actions in NATURA 2000 areas through the pilot application of payment systems for eco systemic services (PES). ECO-SMART will provide: 1) framework to assess the vulnerability to climate change of the involved NATURA 2000 areas, 2) sustainable adaptation plans through PES models in 3 pilot application at NATURA 2000 network sites (2 in ITA and 1 in SLO); 3) wide dissemination of harmonized procedures for the application of Ecosystem Services (ESS) approaches, and PES methods for the design of conservation of biodiversity in NATURA 2000 areas.

Main results: 

a) The main objective of the project was to identify a replicable and applicable methodology on an interregional scale that contributes to the conservation of biodiversity in coastal Natura 2000 sites through the identification of "Payment for Ecosystem Services" (PES) models and the assessment of their economic feasibility in order to finance safeguard actions, i.e. the identification and adoption of adaptation measures aimed at mitigating the impact of climate change on the Ecosystem Services present in the sites of the Upper Lagoon of Venice, Caorle Lagoon - Foce del Tagliamento, Valle Vecchia - Zumelle - Valli di Bibione, Cavana di Monfalcone and Val Stagnon Nature Reserve of Koper.

b) The project achieved all the expected results such as: a database of SSEs with their description, assessment and mapping using the MAES model and in line with EU CLIMATE-ADAPT tools; an analysis of the most effective PES to finance climate change adaptation measures in the study sites; the definition of a harmonised procedure for SSEs, PESs and adaptation plans with appropriate guidelines a harmonised system between Italy and Slovenia to deal with the effects of climate change on ecosystems; a training curriculum on SSE and PES; 3 pilot applications of PES methods to facilitate the implementation of adaptation measures and 3 adaptation plans for the protection of NATURA 2000 areas (one per region) with the signing of 3 agreements with the stakeholders of the study sites.

c) As part of the project, the partnership helped to develop atypical and alternative solutions to the problems that arose in the study of PES or in the relationships with stakeholders, enabling the achievement of the objectives. The activities were organised to ensure the joint implementation of activities, results and outputs in which each partner played an active, complementary and functional role in the achievement of the final ouptuts, having been structured with complementary competences and skills.

d) The partnership is committed to promoting the use of the methodology developed within other Natura 2000 sites, also non-coastal, in Italy and Slovenia and through the funding of other capitalisation projects

Objectives and Activities

Introduction:

The general objective of the project is to assess and test at interregional level, through the pilot application of Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) schemes, the economic feasibility to finance actions to safeguard biodiversity in coastal areas of the Natura 2000 Network threatened by climate change.

To achieve this, four specific objectives were set and implemented:

 

1. Schemes were defined to identify and assess the vulnerability of ecosystem services in the 6 pilot Natura 2000 Network sites

The Partnership proceeded, for each pilot area, to identify ecosystem services based on the Common International Classification of Ecosystem Services (hereafter CICES), a classification system for ecosystem services developed by the European Environment Agency (EEA).

The next step was to select the most relevant Ecosystem Services (ESS) that could become eligible for the application of a Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) scheme.

This selection was based on three evaluation criteria: relevance, analysis of vulnerability status, and presence or absence of actors.

 

2. Drafting of 3 adaptation plans (2 in Italy and 1 in Slovenia) that will be made sustainable through Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) schemes

The results of the analysis on the vulnerability of the most relevant ecosystem services allowed the Partnership to define the most suitable adaptation measures to make the ecosystem more resilient.

The adaptation measures were compiled in Adaptation Plans.

The Partnership selected the most suitable measures and subsequently prepared operational plans for each measure, assessing their economic feasibility.

At the same time, the most suitable PES was selected and simulated to test its effectiveness.

For the "Upper Lagoon of Venice" site, the PES - "Protection of the barenal margins from erosion" was studied, using the benefit-transfer method for the ecosystem services provided by the habitats and the "restoration and conservation costs" method for the barenal surface.

In the "Caorle Lagoon" site, the PES "Protection from storm surges with calculated dune defence system" was studied, using the "benefit-transfer" method for the ecosystem services provided and the "restoration and conservation costs" for the dune habitats.

In the "Cavana di Monfalcone" site, two PES were studied: the first called "natural resource management" and the second called "fruition" using the "benefit-transfer" method in both cases.

Finally, at the "Val Stagnon" site, the PES were studied: "Mitigation of climatic extremes" and

"Habitat mosaic for plant and animal species", using in both cases the "market cost" method as an estimation calculation.

 

3. The definition of a harmonised procedure defining the technical steps necessary to  implement PES

The study carried out made it possible to define a harmonised procedure defining the technical steps required to implement a PES.

The procedure emphasised that each stage must be supported primarily by continuous dialogue with the stakeholders who play an essential decision-making role in this process.

The proposed methodology for adopting the results within the framework consists of 4 main phases:

1. Acknowledgement of the project results;

2. Approval of the adaptation measures;

3. Approval of the PES scheme;

4. Formal transposition.

 

4. Capitalisation of results

Within the framework of the project, the knowledge acquired and the results achieved were widely disseminated by the partnership through seminars, transnational conferences and scientific and/or dissemination articles that reached a wide group of stakeholders: from the general public to economic operators, from sector associations to administrative and government bodies.

Finally, joint comparative reports of results and procedures were produced, which are  available on the ECO-SMART website and can be viewed free of charge.
