Agroforestry can raise carbon (C) stocks of agricultural systems, and such increases can potentially be sold as CO2 emission offsets. We assembled information on the biophysical, technical, economic, and practical potential of agroforestry to sequester C for the West African Sahel, East Africa, a...


Luedeling, EikeSileshi, Gudeta W.Beedy, TracyDietz, Johannes[Carbon sequestration potential of agroforestry in Africa]Carbon sequestration potential of agroforestry in Africa

The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol raised the hopes of many, that payment for carbon sequestration services would provide a significant incentive for sustainable management practices in industrial forestry in tropical countries. Data to assess how realistic these hopes ar...


Smith, J.Applegate, G.[Trading forest carbon to promote the adoption of reduced impact logging]Trading forest carbon to promote the adoption of reduced impact logging

This chapter explores the opportunities for linking mitigation activities with efforts to increase adaptive capacity. Because the issue involves two separate objectives, each with multiple stakeholders and scales of analysis, win-win situations are emphasised. Criteria and indicators for monitori...

This chapter provides brief information on the background and aim of the workshop, the participants and the division of the workshop sessions. The last part is information on the three main parts of the content of the book.


Kanninen, M.Pedroni, L.Robledo, C.[Presentation to the book]Presentation to the book

Global deforestation and forest degradation rates have a significant impact on the accumulation of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere. The Food and Agriculture Organization estimated that during the 1990s 16.1 million hectares per year were affected by deforestation, most of them in the tro...


Schlamadinger, B.Ciccarese, L.Dutschke, M.Fearnside, P.M.Brown, S.Murdiyarso, Daniel[Should we include avoidance of deforestation in the international response to climate change?]Should we include avoidance of deforestation in the international response to climate change?

In many parts of the developing world carbon sequestration projects have been implemented in association with community development. This is a practical way to demonstrate environmental as well as social benefits of the projects. To some extent the projects are in line with the dual objectives of...


Murdiyarso, Daniel[Sustaining local livelihoods through carbon sequestration activities: a search for practical and strategic approach]Sustaining local livelihoods through carbon sequestration activities: a search for practical and strategic approach
Autor: Pirard, R.

The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) was created under the Kyoto Protocol, in order to help industrialized countries achieve their Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission reduction targets at a lower cost. A second objective of the CDM is to help developing countries achieve sustainable development. To be...


Pirard, R.[Pulpwood plantations as carbon sinks in Indonesia: methodological challenge and impact on livelihoods]Pulpwood plantations as carbon sinks in Indonesia: methodological challenge and impact on livelihoods

In terms of sink activities in the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) there is little information about carbon accumulation. This paper deals with case studies in natural young secondary forests and man made forests in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. East Kalimantan has high possibility of CDM activit...

This study estimates that sequestrated carbon by industrial tree plantations is at about 10 tC/ha/yr in good sites. The carbon accumulated by rehabilitation forests is not always less than that of industrial plantations. Selecting the suitable pecies could be one of the essential factors to succe...
