Mercados de carbono basados en la Gestión Forestal Sostenible

Descendiente de una familia vasca de agricultores, ha ejercido desde niño en la práctica de la gestión agrícola, ganadera y forestal. Tras varios años estudiando y trabajando como ingeniero de montes en universidades y organismos extranjeros (Francia y Chile) lleva los últimos 19 años inmerso en el desarrollo de la gestión forestal sostenible en Euskadi. Desde que se incorporara a BASOA FUNDAZIOA hace 10 años , ahora en su función de director técnico, impulsa la divulgación de la ciencia forestal y ejecuta diversos proyectos destinados a promover y compensar los múltiples servicios ecosistémicos que los bosques ofrecen a la sociedad.

Aunque de formación sea abogada mercantilista internacional, pertenece a una familia de tradición forestal, y desde el 2014, es la Directora-Gerente de la Unión de Selvicultores del Sur de Europa (USSE), organización internacional de propietarios forestales privados cuya actividad primordial es la de contribuir a la definición de la política forestal europea e internacional, mediante la toma de posición, representación y diálogo intersectorial, en foros internacionales relevantes aportando la perspectiva y demandas de los bosques del sur de Europa en los foros de decisión, —Unión Europea, FOREST EUROPE, Naciones Unidas, COFO-FAO— así como a través del dialogo y la cooperación con otras organizaciones del sector.

Coordinator of the Dynamics, Modelling and Forest Management research group at ICIFOR (2023-2024), and head of the Forestry group at INIA (2011 and 2016). His main lines of research focus on the dynamics and regeneration of forest systems, forest adaptation to climate change, modelling of the C uptake capacity of different forest compartments and non-timber production. He is the author of more than 85 SCI articles, 35 books or book chapters, and more than 100 communications in national and international meetings. A relevant part of his research activity has focused on the development of tools to support forest management, such as production tables, growth models and silvicultural schemes.

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.

Doctor en Ciencias Económicas y Empresariales por la UPV/EHU. Ha sido docente durante muchos años en la facultad de Economía y Empresa de esta misma universidad.

En este sentido, ha participado en importantes publicaciones, congresos y comités ligados con el ámbito rural, el sector de la madera y la gestión de los bosques.

Responsible for the development of Carbon and Environment services for the members of the FRANSYLVA Federation, the only organisation representing all French forest owners. He also monitors carbon market issues at European level through CEPF, the European Confederation of Forest Owners. These services mobilise private and public funding bodies to strengthen the dynamics of forest renewal. It also participated in the creation of the Canopée Challenge innovation competition for the forest and wood industry, initiated by the Forinvest investor network.
