CIFOR-ICRAF s’attaque aux défis et aux opportunités locales tout en apportant des solutions aux problèmes mondiaux concernant les forêts, les paysages, les populations et la planète.

Nous fournissons des preuves et des solutions concrètes pour transformer l’utilisation des terres et la production alimentaire : conserver et restaurer les écosystèmes, répondre aux crises mondiales du climat, de la malnutrition, de la biodiversité et de la désertification. En bref, nous améliorons la vie des populations.

CIFOR-ICRAF publie chaque année plus de 750 publications sur l’agroforesterie, les forêts et le changement climatique, la restauration des paysages, les droits, la politique forestière et bien d’autres sujets encore, et ce dans plusieurs langues. .

CIFOR–ICRAF publishes over 750 publications every year on agroforestry, forests and climate change, landscape restoration, rights, forest policy and much more – in multiple languages.

CIFOR–ICRAF addresses local challenges and opportunities while providing solutions to global problems for forests, landscapes, people and the planet.

We deliver actionable evidence and solutions to transform how land is used and how food is produced: conserving and restoring ecosystems, responding to the global climate, malnutrition, biodiversity and desertification crises. In short, improving people’s lives.

Opportunities and challenges in environmental service payments: Crabon sequestration

Tropical forests have an important role to play in climate regulation as sources and sinks of carbon. They can help mitigate climate change by conserving existing carbon stocks, expanding carbon in terrestrial systems, and by substituting fossil fuels. The Kyoto Protocol sets greenhouse gas emission limits for Annex 1 (developed) nations. The Clean Development Mechanism (Article 12) is one of the three flexibility mechanisms established to meet the goals of the Kyoto Protocol. In COP-6, the parties agreed to include land use, land-use change and forestry projects under the Clean Development Mechanism but limited projects to afforestation and reforestation. The potential of Philippines forest lands to sequester carbon is presented. Millions of hectares of denuded lands are potentially suitable for reforestation and agroforestry type of activities. Finally, the paper discusses the potential global market size of the Clean Development Mechanism.
