Edited by Ian R. Swingland. Originally published as an issue of the Philosophical Transactions of The Royal Society, this book is essential reading for all involved in every aspect of the new carbon markets. It makes an overwhelming case for the maximum use of carbon sinks, particularly in the developing world. The authors reveal in persuasive detail the benefits of a market-based system of reducing and sequestering carbon. Combined with emissions trading, this approach will maximise benefit to the rural poor and indigenous people, while promoting habitat preservation and biodiversity, watershed protection and the mitigation of global warming. |
