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)...

Optimal forest management when logging damages and costs differ between logging practices
Indrajaya, Yonky; Van der Werf, Edwin; Ierland, Ekko C. van - 2014
Papers on optimal harvesting regimes for maximizing land expectation value (LEV) that compare different logging practices often ignore differences in variable costs and in damages on the residual stand between logging practices. We use data on a multi-age, multi-species forest in East-Kalimantan...

On the economics of forest carbon : renewable and carbon neutral but not emission free
Lintunen, Jussi; Uusivuori, Jussi Ilkka - 2014 - This version: November 26, 2013
First-best optimal forest sector carbon policy is examined. Using a comprehensive forest sector model with a detailed carbon cycle section we show that the renewability and carbon neutrality arguments do not warrant emission free treatment of forest bioenergy. However, under the biomass stock...

Pricing Forest Carbon : Implications of Asymmetry in Climate Policy
Eriksson, Mathilda - 2016
In this paper, we use an integrated assessment model to examine the implications of not recognizing, and partially recognizing forest carbon in climate policy. Specifically, we investigate the impact of an asymmetric carbon policy that recognizes emissions from fossil fuels while ignoring...

Forestry in the Republic of Ireland : Government Policy, Grant Incentives and Carbon Sequestration Value
O'Donnell, Anthony - 2015
subvention on the net present value (NPV) for a defined forestry plantation is investigated. The added value of carbon … sequestration to forestry investment is also examined using the UK Forestry Commission carbon model. Extending the typical … government funded grants for afforestation significantly improve the NPV on forestry investment. Carbon sequestration is shown to …

Forest Protection and Permanence of Reduced Emissions
McCallister, Margaret; Krasovskiy, Andrey; Platov, Anton; … - 2021
Tropical forests are essential for climate change mitigation. As awareness grows over the use of credits from reduced emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) and other nature-based climate solutions within both voluntary and compliance carbon markets, key concerns about the...

Economics of multifunctional forestry in the Sámi people homeland region
Parkatti, Vesa-Pekka; Tahvonen, Olli - 2020
We study forestry in the Sámi people homeland region to understand an ongoing conflict between conventional forest … husbandry, and a flexible optimization between rotation forestry (cf. clearcuts) and forestry that maintains continuous forest … cover. We show that the profitability of conventional forestry is based on utilizing existing forest stands, an outcome that …

Improving land-use modelling within CGE to assess forest-based mitigation potential and costs
Michetti, Melania; Parrado, Ramiro - 2012
forestry sector within climate mitigation. Improvements on database and modelling frameworks allow accounting for land … heterogeneity across and within regions and for land transfers between agriculture, grazing, and forestry. The forestry sector has … forestry practices. Results show that including forest carbon in the compliance strategy decreases European policy costs and …

A global analysis of the cost-efficiency of forest carbon sequestration
Grafton, R. Quentin - 2021
This paper proposes a ranking of the countries where forest carbon sequestration is the most cost-efficient among 166 countries for which data are available. Taking into account the main cost factors leads to a more nuanced ranking of the countries to be favoured for cost-efficient forest carbon...
