Purpose – In order to achieve reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, it is essential that all industry sectors have the appropriate knowledge and tools to contribute. This includes agriculture, which is considered to contribute about a third of emissions globally. This paper reports on one such tool: IMPACCT: Integrated Management oPtions for Agricultural Climate Change miTigation. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – IMPACCT focuses on GHGs, carbon sequestration and associated mitigation options. However, it also attempts to include information on economic and other environmental impacts in order to provide a more holistic perspective. The model identifies mitigation options, likely economic impacts and any synergies and trade-offs with other environmental objectives. The model has been applied on 22 case study farms in seven Member States. Findings – The tool presents some useful concepts for developing carbon calculators in the future. It has highlighted that calculators need to evolve from simply calculating emissions to identifying cost-effective and integrated emissions reduction options. Practical implications – IMPACCT has potential to become an effective means of provided targeted guidance, as part of a broader knowledge transfer programme based on an integrated suite of guidance, tools and advice delivered via different media. Originality/value – IMPACCT is a new model that demonstrates how to take a more integrated approach to mitigating GHGs on farms across Europe. It is a holistic carbon calculator that presents mitigation options in the context other environmental and economic objectives in the search for more sustainable methods of food production.

This research focuses on exploring existing mitigation and modification options in order to develop appropriate recommendations to aid TransAlta Corporation in curbing bird and bat mortalities on Wolfe Island. Since the construction and operation of the Wolfe Island wind facility in Frontenac County, Ontario began in 2008, it has contributed to the deaths of many local and migratory birds and bats. While official tallies of avian and bat mortalities to date vary across reports, environmentalist groups and residents alike have expressed concerns for the safety of these species citing the facility’s position on a migratory route along the eastern end of Lake Ontario as a key point of contention (Bazillauskas, A. & Yatchew, A., 2011; Blackwell, R., 2012; Dierschke, J et al., 2006). In response, the power company behind the project, TransAlta Corporation, has begun conducting its own investigation into the issue and producing bi-annual monitoring reports of mortalities but has made no significant alterations to their turbines (TransAlta Corporation, 2012). As part of an effort to reduce the direct and indirect effects of the Wolfe Island wind facility on migrating bird and bat species, this report aims to assess the suitability for TransAlta corporation of certain mitigation options such as running turbines on a rotating schedule to account for the high traffic periods throughout the year when species are likely to be most at risk and avoiding the continuous lighting which attracts nocturnal species to the towers.
