Agricultural and Forest Landuse Changes, and the Environmental Kuznets Curve for Deforestation: An Intertemporal Dynamic Equilibrium

This study is an investigation of the process of land conversion from forest to agricultural production, and assessing the factors affecting the process. We also analyze the conditions that would ultimately lead to the EKC type of relationship between deforestation and societal income in an economy

Forestry projects: lessons learned and implications for CDM modalities

This paper examines how additionality, baselines and leakage have been assessed for several afforestation/reforestation (A/R) projects currently underway. It identifies trends and draws lessons from this experience that could be useful when agreeing on the modalities and procedures for including A/R projects into the CDM for the first commitment period.The paper concludes that the risk of free-rider projects can be significantly reduced by incorporating relatively small changes into the definitions of additionality, baseline and baseline approach that are set to be agreed for A/R CDM projects at COP9. The importance of leakage can be reduced through careful project design and siting.
