森林碳減量成本分析(2/3)

The Kyoto Protocol has been validated, and it opens a new era on reducing the risks of global climate change. Since forests are increasingly recognized as playing a key role in reducing carbon dioxide, forest carbon sinks have been included in Kyoto protocol as one of the mechanisms in mitigating climate change. According to Kyoto Protocol Article 3.3 and 3.4, the production of CO2 sequestration and emission due to the strategies, which includes increasing afforestation, reforestation, deforestation (ARD) and improving forest management, can be merged to the amount of national emissions reduction. Concerning the economics of a country, forest management is a good cost-effective strategy for carbon reduction. The aim of this paper is to assess economic cost of carbon reduction under different forest management strategies (including plantation, forest management) in Taiwan.《京都议定书》（Kyoto Protocol）已获核准，为降低全球气候变化风险开启了全新纪元。随着森林在二氧化碳减排中的关键作用日益得到认可，森林碳汇（forest carbon sinks）已被纳入《京都议定书》，成为气候变化减缓机制之一。依据《京都议定书》第3.3条与第3.4条规定，通过增加造林、再造林、毁林（ARD）以及改进森林管理等策略所产生的二氧化碳封存与排放量，可纳入国家减排总量核算。从国家经济层面考量，森林管理是极具成本效益的碳减排策略。本研究旨在评估中国台湾地区不同森林管理策略（含人工林经营、森林管理）下的碳减排经济成本。
