This report is about forests that
provide a substantial contribution to mitigation in Romania
by sequestering carbon, helping to counter carbon emissions
from other sectors in the economy. Sustainable forest
management is challenged by fragmented ownership and
insufficient financial resources in particular. A summary of
key existing analytic studies, and the construction of a
marginal abatement cost curve for mitigation actions in the
forestry sector, was the basis for identifying key
adaptation and mitigation measures for Romania’s forests. In
addition to the national and international analytic
exercises, a marginal abatement cost curve (MACC) was
estimated for three measures: afforestation, sustainable
management of protection forests, and sustainable management
of production forests. The key findings were as follows: (i)
analysis of adaptation needs and mitigation possibilities
found that forestry could provide cost-efficient abatement
for Romania; and (ii) financing needs for the three priority
measures, afforestation, sustainable management of
protection forests, and sustainable management of production
forests were evaluated. The conclusions and recommendations
were as follows: (i) recommendations stress the importance
of sustainable forest management for Romania and the
European Union's (EU) desirability to move rapidly
towards defining the rules for Land Use, Land Use Change and
Forestry (LULUCF) based mitigation within its 2030
framework; (ii) policy measures that mitigate climate change
and contribute to growth are critical, as is capacity
building; and (iii) a greener path for forests will require
additional public spending. |
