Carbon Sequestration, Co-Benefits, and Conservation Programs
Land use changes to sequester carbon also provide “co-benefits,” some of which (for example, water quality) have attracted at least as much attention as carbon storage. The non-separability of these co-benefits presents a challenge for policy design. If carbon markets are employed, then social efficiency will depend on how we take into account co-benefits, that is, externalities, in such market...
متن کاملCo-benefits and trade-offs between biodiversity, carbon storage and water flow regulation
The trade-offs between biodiversity, carbon storage and water flow regulation were analysed in a biosphere reserve area. With the aim of proposing criteria for conservation plans that would include ecosystem services and biodiversity, a Geographic Information System (GIS)-based approach was designed to estimate and map the value of the biodiversity and ecosystem services. The actual protected a...
متن کاملCo-Benefits of Sustainable Forest Management in Biodiversity Conservation and Carbon Sequestration
BACKGROUND Sustainable forest management (SFM), which has been recently introduced to tropical natural production forests, is beneficial in maintaining timber resources, but information about the co-benefits for biodiversity conservation and carbon sequestration is currently lacking. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We estimated the diversity of medium to large-bodied forest-dwelling vertebrate...
متن کاملBiodiversity co-benefits of policies to reduce forest-carbon emissions
1 Policies for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) under development through the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will financially reward developing countries that reduce forest-based carbon emissions through initiatives to decrease deforestation and forest degradation, conserve and enhance forest-carbon stocks and promote sustainab...
متن کاملCarbon capture and storage: Combining economic analysis with expert elicitations to inform climate policy
The relationship between R&D investments and technical change is inherently uncertain. In this paper we combine economics and decision analysis to incorporate the uncertainty of technical change into climate change policy analysis. We present the results of an expert elicitation on the prospects for technical change in carbon capture and storage. We find a significant amount of disagreement bet...
