Paige Brown, Bruce Cabarle, and Robert Livernash As human activities increasingly destabilize the global climate, exploring strategies to help reverse the situation are of ever greater importance. One climate stabilization strategy is to continue using forests to store carbon (carbon sequestration), which in turn reduces atmospheric carbon dioxide, the predominant greenhouse gas. Carbon Counts considers the use of forests for carbon sequestration as a response to global warming. The authors look at ways of improving the reliability of net carbon savings estimates by anticipating and avoiding leakage, or unexpected carbon losses. Replete with tables, graphs, and country case studies, the report offers guidance on correctly estimating carbon sequestration benefits and on designing and implementing projects that will deliver these promised benefits. 1997 / 32 pages |
