REDD+ Strategy for forest carbon sequestration in India

Deforestation and forest degradation due to land use, cover change (LULCC) have become one of the prime contributors global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, after fossil fuel combustion. Greenhouse emission from forestry is occurring in atmosphere as a result biomass combustion, fires decomposition deadwood materials. This how increasing carbon dioxide adding warming climate change. Many worldwide recognized studies measured that ecosystems capacity absorb more than 1/3rd total which minimum requirement for keeping atmospheric temperature under 2 °C by 2030. One commonly accepted methods reducing sequestration through forests. India has committed capture 2.5 3 billion tonnes CO2 enhancing tree To achieve this target, adopted REDD+ (Reducing Emissions Forest Degradation) strategy aims mitigate incentivizing conservation. Furthermore, strives address drivers deforestation also provides roadmap stocks enhancement sustainable management actions. study investigates contribution against sequestration.
