Designing a realistic climate change policy that includes developing countries
McKibbin, Warwick J; Wilcoxen, Peter J - 2000
In earlier papers we have argued that the Kyoto Protocol is not sustainable as a global climate change policy and have proposed an alternative policy regime based on a coordinated but decentralized system of national permit trading systems with a fixed internationally negotiated price for...

Validation and Comparison of Carbon Sequestration Project Cost Models with Project Cost Data Obtained from the Southwest Partnership
Robert Lee; Reid Grigg; Brian McPherson - 2011
Obtaining formal quotes and engineering conceptual designs for carbon dioxide (CO{sub 2}) sequestration sites and facilities is costly and time-consuming. Frequently, when looking at potential locations, managers, engineers and scientists are confronted with multiple options, but do not have the...

Valuation Methods for Environmental Benefits in Forestry and Watershed Investment Projects
Cavatassi, Romina - 2004
The understatement or omission of the environmental costs and benefits associated with forest management options results in project evaluations and policy prescriptions that are less than socially optimal. The aim of this paper is to examine the full range of costs and benefits associated with...

Potential for Carbon Forest Plantations in Marginal Timber Forests: The Case of Patagonia, Argentina
Sedjo, Roger A. - 1999
With the advent of the Kyoto Protocol and its recognition of the use of forestry activities and carbon sinks as acceptable tools for addressing the issue of the build-up of atmospheric carbon, the potential role of planted forests as a vehicle for carbon sequestration has taken on a new...

Modelling the supply of ecosystem services from agriculture: a minimum-data approach
Antle, John M.; Valdivia, Roberto O. - 2006
We argue that to support agriculture–environmental policy decision making, stakeholdersneed ‘quantitative back-of-the-envelope’ analysis that is timely and sufficientlyaccurate to make informed decisions. We apply this concept to the analysis of the supplyof ecosystem services from...

Assessing the economic impact of an emissions trading scheme on agroforestry in Australia’s northern grazing systems
Donaghy, Peter; Rolfe, John; Gowen, Rebecca; Bray, Steven; … - 2010
Although agriculture generates a significant portion of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions, it also has the potential to sequester large quantities of emissions through changed land use management such as agroforestry. Whilst there is an extensive amount of agroforestry literature, little...
