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

The report introduces a quantitative methodology, first developed in 1988, that utilizes a dynamic land-use model to evaluate and compare the carbon sequestration potential of forestry projects. This approach was applied to assess carbon offset projects in Guatemala, Mexico, Nepal, Panama, and Thailand to provide practical guidance for policy-makers and project planners.

• The report introduces a specific methodology for the quantitative comparison of carbon sequestration strategies, which employs a dynamic land-use model to evaluate the carbon-offset potential of various forestry schemes.
• The described methodology was first implemented in 1988 to assess the carbon sequestration potential of the CARE/Guatemala Agroforestry program.
