How to Include Terrestrial Carbon in Developing Nations in the Overall Climate Change Solution, and Economic Implications
The Terrestrial Carbon Group
Location: 330, 3rd floor, Collegium Maius
The objective of the Terrestrial Carbon Group is for terrestrial carbon to be effectively included in the international response to climate change. This paper provides guiding principles to do so in support of: (a) ongoing global negotiations on REDD under the UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol; and (b) emerging national, bi-lateral, and multi-national efforts to maintain and enhance terrestrial carbon. Both market and non-market approaches to terrestrial carbon and climate change are necessary. Within that context, this paper proposes a system to credibly include terrestrial carbon in developing nations in the international response to climate change using carbon markets.
