Plan de acción para la puesta en marcha de soluciones forestales integradas en las zonas interiores del espacio SUDOE. Occitania (Francia) y Castilla la Mancha (España)
Diseño y adopción a nivel de las autoridades locales, regionales y nacionales de una estrategia innovadora para la prevención de los incendios forestales en el territorio Sudoe, incluyendo un informe sobre el desarrollo e implementación de las acciones piloto anteriores (comparación de resultados, plan de sostenibilidad y valoración del potencial de transferibilidad al resto del territorio Sudoe) -beneficiarios del ámbito académico; y el diseño de la propia estrategia -administraciones públicas
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.
A joint strategy for the structuring and development of Rural Transition Laboratories will be developed, based on a shared vision of the future of Sudoe’s rural territories. It will integrate the participatory dimension of Rural Transition Laboratories and the focus on endogenous resources and ecosystem-based approaches. For its implementation, each pilot territory will co-construct an action plan describing the stages, priorities and scope of the Laboratory.
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.
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).
