Mercados de carbono basados en la Gestión Forestal Sostenible
Manage existing forests to further and truthfully increase their capacity to fix and store carbon. Offset our carbon footprint with that promoted increase. Add to the timber market the possibility of another additional market.
Description
In addition to the natural carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions occurring on Earth, human activities have caused, and are causing, a very large increase in the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere.
This increase of CO2 in the atmosphere is generating serious climate change problems all over the planet, which endanger not only the stability of current ecological ecosystems, but also the very subsistence of human beings.
Sustainable forest management intervenes in one of the few carbon sinks we have on earth: forests. Improving and maintaining them can thus help us not only to mitigate climate change, but also to adapt properly to its effects.
To address the atmospheric CO2 problem by taking into consideration the opportunity offered by forests, carbon markets are being established. These markets seek to build a bridge between the entities and individuals that emit CO2 into the atmosphere and the entities and individuals that absorb CO2 from the atmosphere into the forests and the wood they provide: a voluntary market where the parties transfer rights to that carbon and consequent economic endowments to each other.
The implementation of such carbon markets often involves grey areas where there may be uncertainty about their functioning and reliability. Advanced scientific and technological implementation and a methodology that verifies the actual achievement of the objectives are necessary. Not just anything applied in any old way will do.
Moreover, these implementations of carbon markets must be adjusted to the forestry reality of each site. In a landscape with as much forest use as the Basque Country, the margin for increasing carbon fixation in the atmosphere through the usual change of land use and without generating a conflictive imbalance with respect to the also necessary food production or urban and industrial use, is very limited. In our case, the key to boosting and improving climate change mitigation lies in deepening sustainable forest management.
In this Course, we will first look at the generic concepts of climate change, the implications of forests with and in the face of climate change, and the possibility of implementing carbon markets in this regard. Subsequently, the concrete implementation in the Basque Country of a carbon market based on sustainable forest management will be analysed.

Ricardo Francisco García Herrera
He is currently Professor of Atmospheric Physics at the Complutense University of Madrid. A specialist in Climatology, his research includes the analysis of weather and climate extremes, the reconstruction of the climate of the last 500 years and the patterns of climate variability in the troposphere. He is co-author of more than 200 articles in scientific journals. He has coordinated international and national research projects and has supervised 15 doctoral theses. He has been president of the State Meteorological Agency, member of the Executive Committee of the World Meteorological Organization and Contributing Author and reviewer of the 4th IPCC report. He has represented Spain in various international committees.
Forest Engineering Doctor, scientist and consultant; specialising in estimating carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas emissions. For more than ten years I worked in different universities and international research centres, and currently I work as a freelance consultant. I use the knowledge and skills acquired during those years to address real challenges and seek solutions rooted in scientific evidence. One of my main activities is the quantification of carbon, nitrogen, biomass and greenhouse gas balances in forest and agricultural systems. For this, I not only use existing methodology, but also develop new models and methods. In addition to my technical speciality, I also assist in the design of sustainability strategies with a special interest in the qualification and valorisation of natural capital; as well as in the development of climate change mitigation plans based on natural solutions.
