Increased capacity of partner organisations, in particular local public authorities, to carry out systemic changes.
Transnational action plan for the detection, real-time monitoring and prevention of PFAS pollution, which will be implemented, for validation, in the scope of the project.
Strategic plans for preventive measures, including manuals on good practices, addressed to public administrations and other target entities (organisations managing natural parks, water management bodies, firefighting bodies, civil protection, etc.).
BIO4RES will result in a joint strategy for the economic valorisation of forest biomass, which will improve the viability of fire risk prevention plans and enhance forest resilience.
Design and adoption at the level of local, regional and national authorities of an innovative strategy for the prevention of forest fires in the Sudoe territory, including a report on the development and implementation of the previous pilot actions (comparison of results, sustainability plan and assessment of the transferability potential to the rest of the Sudoe territory) – beneficiaries of the academic field; and the design of the strategy itself – public administrations
This document, which will be produced jointly taking into account the results of the pilot tests in each territory, will contain a series of recommendations for its incorporation into public policies on the management of the damage caused by negative climate events in agriculture. Basically, it will promote the transition from an approach based on economic reparation of damages to another that considers anticipation and prevention as central elements. It will also incorporate a rigorous analysis of the role of agricultural insurance in terms of protection against frost risk, making proposals to achieve a work in synergy between insurers and policyholders that reduces the financial burden for both and leads to a balanced sharing of responsibilities and re-assessment of risk in view of existing prevention and mitigation measures.
As a result of the implementation of innovative solutions at pilot level, under the coordination of ACMG, an action plan for technical implementation will be developed, which will mean the decline at the operational level of the recommendations contained in the strategic document (White Paper). The document, which is eminently operational, will serve as a detailed guide to the implementation of the solutions tested on a pilot scale by the agricultural production fabric. In addition, it will be a realisation with a key role in transferring results to the whole Sudoe space. Therefore, this realisation is expected to contribute significantly and lastingly to the solution of the problem of spring frost in the Sudoe space.
In the last decade (2012-2022), Sudoe countries have suffered a high number of fires, with an annual average of 222 in Spain, 213 in Portugal
Facing the increasing environmental and socioeconomic challenges that threaten the forests of southwestern Europe, the SocialForest project stands out as an avant-garde and collaborative initiative.
Forest areas, which are extensive in the SUDOE area and in the regions participating in the project, are fundamental for biodiversity and suffer intensely from the effects of climate change (increase in temperature, reduction in average rainfall and its inter-annual variability).
