Secco Laura
Hi! I am Laura Secco.
I am Associate Professor at TESAF Department – University of Padova, in Italy. I hold a MSc in Forest Sciences (1994) and a PhD in Land Use, Rural Appraisal and Forest Economics (1999). I am e-coordinator and e-moderator of various Erasmus Mundus e-learning courses, included MEDfOR, SUTROFOR, SUFONAMA and ERASMUS+ KA!! :-)
At the beginning of my professional carrier, I have been working as consultant in forest and environmental certification, forest management and rural development plans for more than 10 years, traveling to different countries, from boreal to tropical regions, and contributing to establish and run the Italian initiative of the Forest Stewarship Council (FSC). It was great, and very useful to better understand the gaps and the links between scientists and practitioners... ;-)!!!
I entered the academic carrier in 2005. Currently, I am doing research, teaching frontal and online courses and assisting in managing high-level research and educational services such as the PhD School LERH (Land, Environment, Resource and Health, and, in the past, in the FONASO international PhD program). As co-funder and member of the spin-off ETIFOR of the University of Padova, I am also stimulating technology transfer. Recently, I got qualified as Forest Bathing Guide with the Forest Therapy Institute and the Forest Therapy Hub.
Currently, I am the coordinator for UNIPD - TESAF Dept. of two Horizon Europe research projects: 1) OptFORESTS, on innovative uses of forest genetic resources and forest reproductive material to tackle with the climate and biodiversity crises; and 2) RESONATE, on social innovation for Nature-based Therapies for human health and wellbeing and more resilient societies. In both the projects, our Team is involved on the policy, governance, economic and social-related issues.
My favourite topics are forest policy and governance, conflict management, participation, social innovation, rural development and ecosystem services - included climate change mitigation and forest effects on human well-being and health.
My favorite hobbies are trekking (I love my Dolomites mountains, where my own family comes from!), skiing, climbing, reading, drawing and traveling. My favorite sacred forest is Cansiglio Forest (North East of Italy). But my partner Enrico, my 16- and 10- years old daughters (Camilla and Valentina), and our cat Gattoo are my best! We often spend our free time into my loved forests, and/or on tops of a mountain pick!

Courses
The course deals with forest policy, forest governance and conflict management. These concepts are strictly interlinked each other. The image of the course represents a fence in the forest, being both a metaphor of the barriers existing between stakeholders with opposite views (sources of conflicts and tensions) and of some relevant forest governance issues such as the property rights on land and its resources. I hope that, by the end of the course, you will know how to overpass (or at least reduce the effects of) some of these barriers.

The joint e-course is offered by TESAF Department - University of Padua to the SUTROFOR and SUFONAMA Erasmus Mundus students enrolled at the 1st year in Copenhagen, Bangor, Dresden and Goettingen Universities.
The aim of the course is to give students a perspective of the political debate and practical tools concerning the role of forests in mitigating and adapting society to climate change. Emphasis is on best practices to be adopted in forest carbon projects as regarding carbon accountability, auditing and project management and monitoring.
Forest is playing an important role in the adaptation and mitigation of climate change, in particular in connection with the development of REDD+ projects (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) and the increasing share of forest carbon projects in the voluntary carbon market. Central themes of the course are: (i) figure and facts of climate change (e.g. IPCC data) and their relationship with the need of developing community-based resilience strategies to reduce vulnerability of the society to climate change; (ii) definition of forest-based activities to mitigate climate change (e.g.: afforestation, improved forest management, REDD+) and the best practices to be adopted in project development as establishing reliable baseline, demonstrate additionality, ensure permanence, avoid leakage and secure co-benefits; (iii) overview of the institutional initiatives (i.e. the UN Convention on Climate Chanhe and its Kyoto Protocol) with a critical analysis of the past, present and future role of the forest sector; (iv) overview of the voluntary initiatives of carbon emission compensation related to the forestry sector with a focus on risks of green-washing and the need for quality control and quality insurance tools; (v) categorization, structure and implementation of the major carbon standards and market chain infrastructures as carbon registries, accounting methodologies, etc.; (vi) analysis of forest carbon project actors and phases, particularly looking at the validation and verification process, the fundraising, the monitoring and credit marketing aspects (support of two case studies); (vii) simulation of auditing process through the testing of additionality, baseline, permanence and leakage in two case studies.

The aim of the course is to give students a thorough understanding of the current situation and potential role of societal marketing applied to the forestry sector. In the rapidly changing scenario of the global economy, an important new fact is that, in a market economy with sufficiently competitive and transparent markets, and with environmentally conscious citizens and consumers, organizations will be rewarded for their environmental and social achievements, while they will face constraints if they use environmentally and socially poor practices without taking into account stakeholders’ point of views and expectations. Due to this trend, which is influencing also the forestry sector’s companies and the forest products and services traders and users, the societal marketing is becoming a strategic instrument for business.
The course includes: (i) Basics about marketing, societal marketing and its related strategic planning (e.g. the marketing mix), segmentation and differentiation, competitive advantages and marketing positioning; (ii) General overview of market-based policies, instruments and initiatives for promoting and implementing environmental and social responsibility in forestry; (iii) Details about theory and procedures for forest certification, with a special focus on FSC and PEFC.
(iv) Case-studies and field visits are used to explain how different societal marketing instruments apply in practice and which are their main pros and cons.

In a world that is increasingly urbanized, people are stressed and disconnected from nature. But "We need nature in our lives”, to improve our psycho-physical health and that of the planet.
A solution is Green Care. Green Care refers to a range of activities that promotes physical, mental and social health and well-being through contact with nature.
In this course, you will take a journey to the fascinating world of Green Care. You will examine the academic theory, and get familiar with practices, opportunities and innovation on the ground. You will understand the emerging trends in Green Care markets and will be guided to identify problems that you feel driven to solve. You will also draft business ideas and solutions by acquiring knowledge and skills in entrepreneurship.
The course is delivered within the Erasmus+ KA project Green4Care by the University of Padova in collaboration with the University of Brasov (Romania) and Dublin (Ireland). Other partners, both public and private, participate in the activities - with webinars, live discussions, videos, and other material. External participants (e.g. entrepreneurs, interested people) are allowed to enroll.
More details are available at: https://www.greenforcare.eu
The course will run online from the 4th of October, 2021 until the 16th of January, 2022 (with a Christmas break). Afterward, there will be the final exam. A final wrap-up online event is scheduled on the 7th of February 2022.
The course consists of Modules that last 1-3 weeks. Lessons are asynchronous. This allows you to have access to the material throughout the duration of each module. There will be some scheduled live spaces for questions and answers. Several exercises are included, some to be conducted individually, others in groups. Check the Educational offer page to see the requirements of the course.
Students are strongly recommended to enroll into the course by the 29th of September 2021, to allow solving technical problems and arranging group activities in due time.
