North/South Contractual Design Through the REDD+ Scheme

Chiroleu-Assouline, Mireille - 2012

In this paper we aim at theoretically grounding the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD ) scheme as a contractual relationship between countries in the light of the theory of incentives. Considering incomplete information about reference levels of deforestation as...

Trade of Woody Biomass for Electricity Generation under Climate Mitigation Policy

Favero, Alice - 2014

Bio-energy has the potential to be a key mitigation option if combined with carbon capture and sequestration (BECCS) because it generates electricity and absorbs emissions at the same time. However, biomass is not distributed evenly across the globe, and regions with a potentially high demand...

REDD in the Carbon Market : A General Equilibrium Analysis

Bosello, Francesco - 2014

Deforestation is a major source of CO2 emissions, accounting for around 17% of total annual anthropogenic carbon release. While the cost estimates of reducing deforestation rates vary considerably depending on model assumptions, it is widely accepted that emissions reductions from avoided...

The Potential of REDD+ for Carbon Sequestration in Tropical Forests : Supply Curves for Carbon Storage for Kalimantan, Indonesia

Indrajaya, Yonky - 2016

We study the potential of tropical multi-age multi-species forests for sequestering carbon in response to financial incentives from REDD+. The use of reduced impact logging techniques (RIL) allows a forest owner to apply for carbon credits whereas the use of conventional logging techniques (CL)...

Export Tariffs Combined with Public Investments As a Forest Conservation Policy Instrument

Schwerhoff, Gregor - 2017

The forest conservation policy instrument REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) is … are specialized in agriculture and have weak institutions, are likely to face difficulties to enforce forest conservation … forest conservation policy mix in such contexts. We first show empirically that structural constraints to forest conservation …

Linking Reduced Deforestation and a Global Carbon Market : Impacts on Costs, Financial Flows, and Technological Innovation

Bosetti, Valentina - 2015

Discussions over tropical deforestation are currently at the forefront of climate change policy negotiations at national, regional, and international levels. This paper analyzes the effects of linking Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) to a global market for...

The Passive Use Value of the Mediterranean Forest

Otrachshenkoy, Vladimir - 2014

In this study we estimate the passive use value of forest in different ecological zones in the Mediterranean region. We estimate these values for forests using meta-analysis. These estimates are used to reveal the annual monetary values per hectare for each country. The total annual amount of...

Abatement and Transaction Costs of Carbon-Sink Projects Involving Smallholders

Cacho, Oscar - 2015

Agroforestry projects have the potential to help mitigate global warming by acting as sinks for greenhouse gasses. However, participation in carbon-sink projects may be constrained by high costs. This problem may be particularly severe for projects involving smallholders in developing countries....

Carbon Sequestration With Reforestations and Biodiversity - Scenic Values

Caparros, Alejandro - 2015

This paper presents an optimal control model to analyze reforestations with two different species, including commercial values, carbon sequestration and biodiversity or scenic values. We solve the model qualitatively with general functions and discuss the implications of partial or total...
