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...

REDD, PINC and Other Shades of Green : Institutional Requirements for an International Forest Carbon Sequestration Treaty in a Post-Kyoto World

Baldwin, Elizabeth Anne; Richards, Kenneth R. - 2015

Because forests play a critical role in the global carbon cycle, the international community is actively pursuing policies and programs to conserve and increase the amount of carbon stored in forests. As the international community moves closer to an agreement on terrestrial carbon...

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 …

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 - 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...

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)...

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...

The Future of Forests : Emissions from Tropical Deforestation with and Without a Carbon Price, 2016-2050

Busch, Jonah - 2015

We project the future of tropical deforestation from 2016-2050 with and without carbon pricing policies, based on 18 million observations of historical forest loss spanning 101 tropical countries. Our spatial projections of future deforestation incorporate topography, accessibility, protected...

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 …

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...
