Evaluating the carbon sequestration benefits of sustainable forestry projects in developing countries

This report introduces a dynamic land-use model methodology developed in 1988 to quantitatively test and compare the carbon-offset and sequestration potentials of various sustainable forestry and land-use projects in developing countries.

• The report introduces a unique methodology based on a dynamic land-use model designed to quantitatively test and compare the carbon-offset potentials of various forestry schemes. This approach was first implemented in 1988 to assess the CARE/Guatemala Agroforestry program.
• The methodology described in the report has been applied to evaluate carbon offset projects across several specific countries, including Mexico, Nepal, Panama, Thailand, and Guatemala.
