This latest IUCN paper presents a vision for drylands that makes their sustainable development a global responsibility. Focuses on maximizing the opportunities that exist for sustainable dryland development and empowerment of local people at national and international levels. This paper builds on the understanding that has emerged over the past …
This document details the recent initiatives being undertaken by the Ministry of environment and Forests to address the issue of climate change. These are in the field of forestry, energy efficiency, research agenda and CDM capacities. While India finalizes the details of the Missions under its National Action Plan on …
Negotiations on a future climate policy framework addressing Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) are ongoing. Regardless of how such a framework will be designed, many technical solutions of estimating forest cover and forest carbon stock change exist to support policy in monitoring and accounting. These technologies typically combine …
Estimation of soil organic carbon (SOC) is indispensable in studies involving soils and global climate change. SOC retention in soil is a function of climate, vegetation and intrinsic soil properties. Historically, SOC estimates are based on wet digestion which gives low carbon recovery. This results in underestimation of its density …
A stand of young redwoods, survivors in what was once a magnificent forest of towering giants, could play a small part of the battle to slow global warming -- and forms part of an emerging market. The trees, which trap quantities of the carbon dioxide that is warming the planet, …
India has claimed that over the last two decades, it has not only managed to reverse deforestation but has also managed to transform its forests into a significant net sink of carbon dioxide (CO2). This has been stated in a first-of-its-kind document coming from a developing country. Titled
Amanda Sutton looks over a wheat field in northern Colorado and sees a potential "carbon offset project" that could help curb greenhouse gas emissions linked to global warming. "This is a patch of highly-cultivated land that could provide potential carbon offsets," she said, standing by the field which is owned …
The World Bank said on Tuesday it will buy 500,000 tons of carbon credits from a forest project replanting about 4,120 hectares destroyed by deforestation in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Replanting forests, which have been cut or burned, is central to the reduction in global greenhouse case emissions because …
Narayan Lakshman Jagdish Bhagwati, University Professor at Columbia University and Senior Fellow in International Economics at the Council on Foreign Relations, is regarded as one of the foremost international trade economists of his generation. He has been Economic Policy Adviser to Arthur Dunkel, Director General of GATT (1991-93), Special Adviser …
Forestry is at the centre-stage of global climate change negotiations. This is because forests have the potential to be a carbon sink as well as a source of carbon emissions. This publication provides a useful snapshot of the carbon value of India
This report addresses sea-level rise and the associated flooding of coastal regions and it s the first-of-its kind assessment incorporating the fate of the ice sheets of Greenland and West Antarctica into global sea level projections. Says that that sea-levels will very likely rise by more than one meter by …
U.S. farmers and foresters could earn more money from carbon contracts than they pay in higher costs from legislation to control greenhouse gases, the Agriculture Department estimated on Wednesday. In the near term, most of the money would go to people who plant trees to lock carbon in the soil …
The impact on U.S. farms and ranches from climate-change legislation will be bearable, partly because of the chance to earn money for controlling greenhouse gases, said the House Agriculture Committee chairman on Tuesday. Agriculture Chairman Collin Peterson, during a speech to American Soybean Association members, pointed to think-tank estimates the …
A new report has revealed that a change in the way we manage agricultural land could help sequester a quarter of the world's carbon dioxide emissions every year.
The amount of carbon locked away in frozen soils in the far Northern Hemisphere is double previous estimates and rapid melting could accelerate global warming, a study released on Wednesday says. Large areas of northern Russia, Canada, Nordic countries and the U.S. state of Alaska have deep layers of frozen …
The objective of this report is to explore the topic of carbon sinks in forest ecosystems, focusing on the issue of REDD. The report covers different angles: an overview of existing financial and methodological initiatives that currently invest in preparation and capacity building of potential REDD host countries, but also …
Dera Mandi forest is all set to earn carbon credits for Delhi Government which plans to develop 727 hectares into a zone that will help mitigate the growth in concentration of greenhouse gases. The Delhi Government
