The potential of REDD+ for carbon sequestration in tropical forests : supply curves for carbon storage for Kalimantan, Indonesia
Indrajaya, Yonky; Van der Werf, Edwin; Weikard, Hans-Peter - 2015
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)...

Developing consumption-based emissions indicators from Agriculture, Forestry and Land-use (AFOLU) activities
Garsous, Grégoire - 2021
Understanding consumption-based emissions from Agriculture, Forestry and Land-use (AFOLU) activities is important in developing climate policy for the sector. This paper proposes a new methodology to construct indicators – CBAFOLU indicators ‒ to provide estimates of greenhouse gas (GHG)...

Carbon leakage and agriculture : A literature review on emissions mitigation policies
Arvanitopoulos, Theodoros - 2021
The risks of carbon leakage associated with climate policies in the agricultural sector remains under-researched. Studies to date suggest that carbon pricing policies implemented by a single country, or small group of countries, reduce global emissions but also affect the international...

Saving Africa's tropical forests through energy transition : a randomized controlled trial in Tanzania
Alem, Yonas; Ruhinduka, Remidius D. - 2020
The production of charcoal to meet cooking needs of urban households is one of the main causes of deforestation and … reduction in deforestation. We also investigate the impact of the stoves on cooking time of women, who are the default cooks of … deforestation of 0.04 ha/household/year. However, providing subsidies for stove purchases resulted in a larger reduction in charcoal …

A Modelling Framework for Addressing the Synergies Between Global Conventions Through Land Use Changes : Carbon Sequestration, Biodiversity Conservation, Prevention of Land Degrada...
Ponce-Hernandez, Raul - 2015
This paper proposed a methodological framework for the assessment of carbon stocks and the development and identification of land use, land use change and land management scenarios, whereby enhancing carbon sequestration synergistically increases biodiversity, the prevention of land degradation...

Options to achieve net-zero emissions from agriculture and land use changes in Latin America and the Caribbean
Dumas, Patrice; Wirsenius, Stefan; Searchinger, Tim; … - 2022
Eleven countries in Latin America and the Caribbean have pledged to reach net-zero emissions by around 2050. Changes in the food system are key to reach these carbon neutrality goals, as agriculture and resulting land-use changes are responsible for almost half of greenhouse gas emissions in the...

Policy Case Study -- Food Labeling : Climate for Sustainable Growth
Cosbey, Aaron - 2015
This case study is part of the CEPS project ‘Climate for Sustainable Growth', whose main objective is to analyse the impacts of climate change mitigation measures on the three pillars of sustainable development: the economic, environmental and social dimensions. It analyses food labeling via...

Global assessment of the carbon leakage implications of carbon taxes on agricultural emissions
Henderson, Ben - 2021
Carbon leakage arises when emission reductions in countries applying a carbon tax are offset, partially or completely, by emission increases in countries that do not apply the tax or any other greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation policies. Analysis using the MAGNET computable general equilibrium...

Climate mitigation co-benefits from sustainable nutrient management in agriculture : Incentives and opportunities
Andersen, Mikael Skou - 2021
Nitrogen management policies introduced in the past decades by some OECD countries have succeeded in reducing excess nitrogen use by farmers, but half of global mineral fertiliser use is still lost for crops. While about half of OECD countries have nutrient surpluses of between 25-50 kg N per...
