Leistungen

Documents, reports (19)

Guidelines on the conceptual generalization of the procedures (natural wetlands, floodplains and peatlands)

Guidelines on the conceptual generalization of the procedures for natural wetlands, floodplains and peatlands (M32). Presents the conceptual description of replicating the developed methodologies for other types of wetlands.

Modelling and mapping tools for WP4-6

Modelling and mapping tools for WP4-6 (evaluating, upscaling and projecting wetlands response to climate change and restoration) (M28). Describes the models, methods and approaches developed in Task 3.2. It includes details about the scale, the scope and the transferability of the proposed/implemented tools and illustrates the results of their application to the study cases.

Integrative assessment framework of the GHG abatement potential and resilience of wetlands (final version)

Final integrative assessment framework of the GHG abatement potential and resilience of wetlands (M34). Specifically addressing uncertainty and upscaling, revising the conceptual framework based on the feedback from all the other WPs. It includes the description of the climate scenarios generated for the purposes of Task 3.3, and of the approaches used for downscaling.

Dissemination & Communication Plan

Dissemination and Communication Plan (DCP) (M6). Guidelines to implement activities. The plan will further detail and fine tune the project messages, describe in depth the target groups choosing the right media mix. The implementation plan of the related activities will be reviewed and implemented. To ensure the maximisation of the dissemination and communication activities and their impact, periodic biannual coordination meetings will be organised involving all partners and WPs into a communication task force.

Integrative assessment framework of the GHG abatement potential and resilience of wetlands (1st version)

First integrative assessment framework of the GHG abatement potential and resilience of wetlands (M14). This report sets the scene for further development in WP4-6 and contribute to the design of serviced in WP7, and summarizes how the project translates up to date knowledge and tools into integrative assessment of wetlands performance under multiple pressures and how existing knowledge gaps will be addressed.

Guides and recommendations for scaling up of the solutions

Report with detailed Guides and recommendations for scaling up of the solutions (M18)Report including a detailed review of the existing initiatives, projects and solutions for wetlands restoration and protection will be coordinated by MedWet. The intention is to take stock on existing good practices and solutions, identify both specific needs of the sectors and limitations of existing initiatives, establishing prerequisites for the development of a common approach. The result will consist of a benchmark report and a policy guidance document highlighting key enablers, success factors and recommendations for supporting a wetland restoration agenda across Europe and broader. MedWet will deliver a Report with Policy guide that will be disseminated at EU level.

Policy analysis and policy demands for data, methods, and tools

Report on policy analysis (synergies, opportunities, and barriers) and policy demands for data, methods, and tools to support the restoration of wetlands as a climate change mitigation/adaptation strategy (M18). Report that consists of two parts: a) Inventory of policies (EU, national) relevant to European wetland restoration as climate change mitigation strategy and lessons learned from their implementation at EU and case pilot level; b) Inventory of needs of end-users (EU, national/regional level) for data, information systems, methods, and tools to address and monitor policy targets for wetland restoration and carbon storage.

Video documentary series

Video documentary series (M32). A short video documentary series will be telling the success story of the project through the voices of the stakeholders and key players involved. Videos will be realized at the pilot sites and the outputs will be distributed through the LifeWatching science channel (www.lifewatching.tv )as well as sent to the relevant festivals in Europe.
