Objective

develop analytical tools to assess economic and environmental effects of enhancing carbon sink and greenhouse gas abatement measures on agricultural and forest lands

Sixth Framework Programme

Basic Questions about GHG Abatement Measures

• Where?• How? By which technology?• At what cost?• When?• How good?

Sixth Framework Programme

Problems to solve

• integrate socioeconomic & biophysical data, spatial & tabular information

• create an ecosystem-based GIS• match different scales • maintain thematic and spatial

consistency• interface with models• common meta database

Sixth Framework Programme

What is studied?

• Inventory data needs• Sort needs:

– Common data– Unique data

• Classify data– Availability– Scale– Variables– Unit

• Set up priority and time
