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

Market-based approaches to environmental management, such as payment for environmental services (PES), have attracted unprecedented attention during the past decade.
Once written off as sci-fi fantasy, geoengineering now looks like the last best hope to avert harmful climate change. (Editorial)
Industrial-scale attempts to capture CO2 from coal-burning power plants or oil refineries and lock it away deep underground are getting an unprecedented boost from the U.S. government's $787 billion stimulus package.
The collapse of the Soviet Union had diverse consequences, not least the abandonment of crop cultivation in many areas. One result has been the vast accumulation of soil organic carbon in the areas affected.
The area under conservation agriculture is expanding the world over and India has not lagged behind
Crop waste burial may be a more efficient means of carbon sequestration than other methods. A leading idea to fight global climate change is to permanently remove some of the carbon dioxide building up in the atmosphere. Here
As more and more multibillion-dollar projects for sequestering carbon dioxide (CO2) deep within the Earth seek financial support, human-formed fertile black soils in the Amazon basin suggest a cheaper, lower-tech route toward the same destination.
Standing Committee on Agriculture, present this Forty-Seventh Report on
The addition of iron to high-nutrient, low-chlorophyll regions induces phytoplankton blooms that take up carbon. Carbon export from the surface layer and, in particular, the ability of the ocean and sediments to sequester carbon for many years remains, however, poorly quantified3.
Study casts doubt on iron-induced carbon sequestration.
