29 Climate Mitigation vs. Biodiversity Protection

30 2010 EU Biodiversity Targets 2001: European Council committed to ‘halt the decline of biodiversity by 2010’ in Europe 2001: European Council committed to ‘halt the decline of biodiversity by 2010’ in Europe 2002: EU joined about 130 countries in agreeing ‘to significantly reduce the rate of biodiversity loss by 2010‘ worldwide 2002: EU joined about 130 countries in agreeing ‘to significantly reduce the rate of biodiversity loss by 2010‘ worldwideBUT Biodiversity loss still accelerating Biodiversity loss still accelerating Reservation often ad hoc and uncoordinated Reservation often ad hoc and uncoordinated 2010 only three years away 2010 only three years away

31 Habitat Needs Simulations with the independent 69 species based habitat module of EUFASOM show that 10, 20, 30, 40 viable populations for each species require 22, 35, 42, and 61 million hectares, respectively, in specific locations

36 Conclusions Low mitigation targets, low marginal mitigation costs, more extensive agriculture, water and soil quality benefits Low mitigation targets, low marginal mitigation costs, more extensive agriculture, water and soil quality benefits High mitigation targets, high marginal cost, more intensive agriculture, more pressure on food and biodiversity High mitigation targets, high marginal cost, more intensive agriculture, more pressure on food and biodiversity Simultaneous biodiversity policies increase agricultural mitigation cost Simultaneous biodiversity policies increase agricultural mitigation cost Integrated analysis important (climate, soil, water, biodiversity, fuel, food) to prevent today’s solution becoming the problem of tomorrow Integrated analysis important (climate, soil, water, biodiversity, fuel, food) to prevent today’s solution becoming the problem of tomorrow
