Pricing forest carbon
Pricing forest carbon and putting in place the means and channels to pay for it are necessary conditions to achieve the 2030 mitigation goals. Yet, after more than 15 years of discussion, payments for

Accounting for risk in valuing forest carbon offsets
Forests can sequester carbon dioxide, thereby reducing atmospheric concentrations and slowing global warming. In the U.S., forest carbon stocks have increased as a result of regrowth following land abandonment and in-growth due to fire suppression, and they currently sequester approximately 10% of annual US emissions.

Standing forests are the most important territorial reservoirs to CO2. Reforestry and afforestry CDM projects are the means to sequester carbon. Himachal Pradesh and Haryana are the examples. In India, both Himachal Pradesh and Haryana are in nascent stage of a reforestation and afforestation project under CDM. The projects entrust people with the task of growing and protecting

Sequestering carbon through indigenous agriculture practices
Mountain communities have been adapting to changing environment for a long time. Traditional farming methods depending on recycling of available natural resources is the key to sustainable production systems. Local marketing systems have also played a vital role in reducing the emissions and food miles.

Enabling agriculture to contribute to climate change mitigation
This submission highlights ways in which the potential of agricultural mitigation in general, and from smallholder agriculture in particular, may be realized under a future global climate change agreement.

Forestry based carbon sequestration option for India
Carbon capture and sequestration through forests can play an important role in reducing India's GHG emissions, as consumption of fossil fuels is unlikely to slow down given India's reliance on coal power and other non renewable sources. Land use and forest enhancement strategy can provide a significant climate change mitigation option for India.

Clean development mechanism project design document form for small-scale afforestation and reforestation project activities
The purpose of the small-scale A/R CDM project activity are: to earn carbon credits from growing of trees to be planted, under the CDM provisions of Kyoto Protocol; to help in mitigation of global warming by planting trees for sequestration of atmospheric
