Objectives Identify / develop / test methods for improved estimates of C stock changes for
UNFCCC and KP reporting establish database of BEFs and biomass equations for major EU forest types develop methods for soil C assessment to be combined with forest inventories over large spatial scales develop multi-source (RS, soils, forest inventory) methods for assessing C stock changes including their regional
distribution and uncertainties apply in test sites and suggest upscaling methods to national level

„Bottom up“ approach „Top-down“ approach
Forest information (stemwood volume,species composition, soil types, land-use,etc.) aggregated at regional or national level
C budget integrated at regional and nationallevel (currently done for natl reporting)
C budget aggregated atlocal level
Raw data from soil and fieldassessment
Upscaling of methods toregional and national levels

Linking temporary credits to emissions trading
CDM projects result in temporary credits Not exchangeable with other emissions allowances Separate the liability from credit Combine with the later part of credit stream from “energy projects” Objective: facilitate linking of sinks offset projects with EU Emissions Trading System
