methodological guide Guideline and Software Visual HEA Sylvain - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

The French ELD methodological guide Guideline and Software Visual HEA Sylvain Pioch, University Montpellier / CEFE EU 2nd Stakeholder Conference, 11 June 2013 sylvain.pioch@univ-montp3.fr

1 - Guide A guide by & for the final users  Redactionnal committee composition  Decentralised services of MEDDE at regional and departmental levels  Ministries in charge of Agriculture, Industry, of the Interior  Departmental Prefects (Competent Administrative Authority designed) and administrative judges  Different scientific councils (on water, aquatic systems, nature preservation, ...)  Civil society : industrials, insurance sector, local authorities, NGOs on environmental issues  MEDDE = Ministry of Ecology (legal department, risk prevention department, water and biodiversity department and Department of the Commissioner-general for Sustainable Development )  Elaboration of the guide ( 3 meetings between October 2011 and February 2012)  Validation by the working group (April 2012)

1 - Guide An operationnal tool  Large consultation (May 2012) of decentralised services at regional and departmental levels  Comments taken into account and model making of the guide (from June to July 2012)  Distribution (end of August) to the decentralised services and the working group  National workshop (21 September 2012)  On-line publishing (mid of October 2012. English version in February 2013) : http://www.developpement- durable.gouv.fr/La-loi-responsabilite.html

1 - Guide How to use it ?  The summary : what is essential to be known on the ELL (27 April 2009) and the use of equivalency methods in 11 pages and in the form of 8 questions : Which operators and activities are concerned? 1. Who is the competent administrative authority? 2. Which measures may be required? 3. When should this mechanism be implemented? 4. Who does what? (1) between operators and the (2) 5. competent administrative authority What do these approaches represent and what do they 6. do? Which process should be used to determine the 7. remedial measures?

1 - Guide A guide divided in 2 part Part 1, framework Presentation of the framework from the ELL Legal and regulatory context 5 summary help sheets for the implementation of the ELL

1 - Guide Part 2, operational  Determination of the remedial measures :  Equivalency methods and value approaches : what are they ?  7-Phase process for determining remedial measures : Identification of the event causing the damage 1. Determination of the site's baseline condition 2. Identification and analysis of potential remediation 3. projects Choice of scaling approach 4. Scaling of the remediation project 5. Sensitivity Analysis 6. Remediation, Monitoring and Evaluation Plan 7.

2 – Software Visual HEA Software to implement HEA  Visual HEA => help to enter in the equivalency methods ! - Avoid fastidious & repetitive calcul - Easy to program - Ergonomic - Friendly training support  Freeware to develop a community of user, share experiences (European / world users)

2 – Software Visual HEA Principles  Translate the amount of Ecosytemic services through visual graph  Translate gain & losses to compare their equivalency

 Visual HEA_FR 2_6

2 – Software Visual HEA Main interest from users  To help in the sensitivity analysis = assessment of the ES losses/gain, and negociation for compensatory mitigation size Life duration of Comp. Mitigation Amount of gain from comp. Mitig.

2 – Software Visual HEA Limit of the software The Software Visual_HEA can’t : • Help you in the choice of proxy , the Initial State • Help you in the choice of compensatory mitigation • Help you to assess your operation … but we are working on => « MORA » (spain program) : Visual HEA is complementary with Mora (scoring gain & losses)

Biodiversity Damage Introduction to discussion round 2 Sylvain Pioch, University Montpellier 3 EU 2nd Stakeholder Conference, 11 June 2013

Break-out biodiversity Damage Do you think that Member States and stakeholders are fit to apply biodiversity damage remediation pursuant to the ELD ?

Break-out biodiversity Damage Over issues related :  Which questions or concepts would you consider needing further developments or explanations (favourable conservation status, baseline condition, complementary and compensatory remediation etc.)?  Are Member States fit to apply primary, complementary and compensatory remediation for damage to protected species and natural habitats?  Given the uneven level of protection regarding the scope of biodiversity damage due to the extension to nationally protected species and habitats by half of the Member States (and the others not): Should the scope be extended to cover all nationally protected species and habitats? Should there be binding guidelines helping MS with the implementation of Annex II ELD?

Break-out biodiversity Damage Enhance the skills and knowledge, what is done in EU ?  -> Gap in the level of knowledge/skills for local governmental environmental agency in charge to apply the ELD (  Guide produced by Ministry of environment (REMEDE Europe, SP, UK, NL)  Software to apply ( FR “Visual HEA”, SP “MORA”)  Workshop organised by scientist and contractor (Insurance experts, Europe)  But…what about the local gov. agencies / final users ?  -> Mis-perception with industrial about the concept to “ repare ” in nature the nature  Insurances develop training and handbook  The French Federation of industry produced guideline  Over tools to simplify the concept of mitigation…
