E
Expansion of protected areas decreases the available area for agriculture in certain regions. +
Lower pressure from agricultural impacts in protected area regions. Outside protected areas this pressure may increase. +
the ES "nature based tourism" is positively influenced by the amount of protected area. +
Agriculture is not allowed in protected areas and therefore is allocated at other locations. +
No pressure from agricultural land use in protected areas. Outside protected areas this pressure may increase. +
This policy intervention will result in the exclusion of the selected technologies. This is likely to result in an increased use of alternative technologies. +
RIL can change the volume of the C pools in the soil and vegetation pools and reduces the human induced land-use change emissions. +
RIL leads to lower loss of biodiversity in forest areas, and it can have impacts on C pools and fluxes as less residues are produced per unit harvested wood product. +
The impacts on biodiversity is lower using RIL practices instead of the conventional practices. This because (i) less forets will be used (higher biodiversity on large scale); (ii) a better and faster regrowth of the harvested forests, also thus a long-term increasing biodiversity also within these forests. +
F
Implementation of climate financing proposals affect regional mitigation costs, as regions have to contribute to financing. The funds mobilised can be used to finance climate policies of the least developed regions. +
H
Construction of dam and reservoir e.g. for hydropower causes disturbance of river flow leading to loss of habitats and migration routes for aquatic biota. +
I
Obligatory biofuel blending increases the demand for biofuel crops, e.g. maize and oil crops, which causes higher prices. Secondly, production will be increased and/or demand for food will decrease, due to these higher prices. Production can be increased by increasing external inputs, labour or land expansion. +
Targets for biofuel production/blending impact agricultural production and consequently land use. +
Targets for biofuel production/blending impact terrestrial biodiversity in two ways. Firstly, land used for biofuel crops usually has a negative impact on biodiversity. Secondly, mitigated climate change - due to the use of biofuels - probably has a positive impact on future biodiversity (change). +
This intervention can decrease available area for agriculture in certain regions. +
By implementing mosaic landscapes the supply of ES dependent of nature will increase (e.g. flood and erosion protection, pollination and pest control). +
Could affect allocation of agriculture, in case agriculture is excluded in some areas. +
Application of sustainability criteria for bio-energy production, reduces the areas potentially suitable for the cultivation of bio-energy crops, and consequently the marginal costs of bio-energy use. +
Implementation of sustainability criteria in bio-energy production#EffectOnTerrestrial biodiversity +
Sustainability criteria limit the use of land for bio-energy cultivation and therefore reduce pressures on biodiversity from climate policies (via bio-energy production). +
Decreases chil moratality by lowering the incidence of child underweight, diarrhoea and pneumonia +
