Improved assessment of baseline and additionality for forest carbon crediting

Nina A. A. Randazzo et al.

Summary: In the California compliance cap-and-trade carbon market, the accuracy of common practice carbon stocking values for improved forest management (IFM) projects is questioned. Current methods produce biases in baseline carbon values, leading to a clustering of IFM projects in areas with higher carbon stocks. This study aims to establish unbiased common practice estimates along ecological gradients using methods that do not rely on discrete forest classification.

New damage curves and multimodel analysis suggest lower optimal temperature

Kaj-Ivar van der Wijst et al.

Summary: The cost-benefit analysis of climate change heavily relies on the choice of damage function, which is difficult to obtain credible information for. Comparison of multiple models reveals that the optimum temperature for climate change may be lower than previously estimated. Economic analyses of global climate change have been criticized for their inadequate representation of the damages caused. The study developed and applied aggregate damage functions in three different Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) with varying levels of complexity, including a wide but incomplete range of climate change impacts. The results show that global damages, based on medium estimates for damage functions, are projected to be approximately 10% to 12% of the GDP by 2100 under a baseline scenario with 3 degrees C temperature increase, and about 2% under a well-below 2 degrees C scenario. These damages exceed previous estimates from benefit-cost studies and indicate that optimal temperatures might be below 2 degrees C when considering damages and discount rates. Furthermore, the benefit-cost ratios range from 1.5 to 3.9, even without factoring in unaccounted damages such as biodiversity losses, health impacts, and tipping points.

Optimal Environmental Targeting in the Amazon Rainforest

Juliano Assuncao et al.

Summary: This article presents a data-driven approach to optimize environmental policies in combating deforestation, using the Amazon rainforest as a case study. The findings demonstrate the significant reduction in deforestation and carbon emissions achieved through targeted policies, resulting in substantial cost savings. The approach outlined in this article can also be applied to evaluate the impacts of other targeted policies.

Systematic over-crediting in California's forest carbon offsets program

Grayson Badgley et al.

Summary: The forest carbon offsets program in California is awarding excessive offset credits based on carbon stocks that exceed regional averages, creating incentives for project developers to select forests that are ecologically distinct from the region. This leads to systematic over-crediting and the creation of offset credits that do not reflect real climate benefits, with an estimated value of $410 million at recent market prices.

Carbon emissions reductions from Indonesia's moratorium on forest concessions are cost-effective yet contribute little to Paris pledges

Ben Groom et al.

Summary: International initiatives for reducing carbon emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) can significantly contribute to tropical countries' national climate commitments. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a partnership between Norway and Indonesia, which implemented a moratorium on new concessions in certain forests. The results show that the moratorium had limited impact on dryland forests but failed to protect carbon-rich peatland forests. Despite its limitations, the moratorium resulted in significant emissions reductions and contributed to Indonesia's climate goals.

Slowing deforestation in Indonesia follows declining oil palm expansion and lower oil prices

David L. A. Gaveau et al.

Summary: This study estimated the impact of oil palm plantations on natural forests in Indonesia using satellite imagery and sample-based error calibration. Over the course of 19 years, the area covered by oil palm doubled, reaching 16.24 million hectares, exceeding official estimates. Forest area declined by 11%, with 32% ultimately converted into oil palm. Industrial plantations had a greater impact than smallholder plantings.

The time value of carbon storage

Zack Parisa et al.

Summary: Widespread concern about global climate change necessitates urgent action. Natural climate solutions are crucial for achieving low temperature targets. However, the full potential of natural systems to store carbon has not been fully utilized due to the requirement for long-term contracts, which increase costs and limit deployment.

Comprehensive evidence implies a higher social cost of CO2

Kevin Rennert et al.

Summary: This study shows that improved probabilistic socioeconomic projections, climate models, damage functions, and discounting methods can significantly increase the estimates of the social cost of carbon dioxide (SC-CO2). The study's estimates are higher than the current values used in policy evaluation, thereby increasing the expected benefits of greenhouse gas mitigation.

Palm oil and the politics of deforestation in Indonesia

Elias Cisneros et al.

Summary: This study explores the interactions between political and economic incentives in driving forest loss and land conversion for oil palm cultivation in Indonesian districts. The research finds clear evidence that political incentives before local elections and palm oil price exposure play crucial roles in increasing deforestation rates. The study highlights how economic and political incentives can reinforce each other as drivers of forest loss.

Getting the message right on nature-based solutions to climate change

Nathalie Seddon et al.

Summary: Nature-based solutions (NbS) have gained popularity as an integrated approach to address climate change and biodiversity loss, but concerns have been raised about the overemphasis on tree planting for carbon sequestration. NbS should encompass a wide range of ecosystems, engage local communities, and be explicitly designed to benefit biodiversity in order to effectively tackle urgent challenges.

No aggregate deforestation reductions from rollout of community land titles in Indonesia yet

Sebastian Kraus et al.

Summary: The Indonesian government plans to grant community titles for 12.7 million hectares of land to communities living in and around forests, but initial research shows that community titles aimed at conservation did not decrease deforestation; rather, they may increase forest loss. On the other hand, community titles in zones aimed at timber production have shown to decrease deforestation.

Local deforestation spillovers induced by forest moratoria: Evidence from Indonesia

Floris Leijten et al.

Summary: Moratoria on commodities produced in deforestation-risk areas have been effective in reducing deforestation, but can lead to local spillover effects, with neighboring areas experiencing changes in deforestation. Expansion of the moratorium to high-deforestation risk areas and increased uptake of certification schemes and international finance could help mitigate these spillover effects.

Proximate Causes of Forest Degradation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo Vary in Space and Time

Aurelie C. Shapiro et al.

Summary: Forest degradation, defined as a reduction in forest ecosystem services, can have long-term impacts on biodiversity, climate, and local livelihoods. Quantifying forest degradation and its proximate causes can help inform policies to reduce carbon emissions. Factors such as swamp ecosystems, accessibility, and forest concessions are associated with lower forest degradation, while built-up areas, fire frequency, and armed conflicts lead to greater degradation. The impact of neighboring units on forest condition shows a greater influence than on-site determinants, highlighting the importance of considering spillover effects in neighboring areas.

Reflections on the Dasgupta Review on the Economics of Biodiversity

Ben Groom et al.

Summary: The Dasgupta Review provides a comprehensive overview of biodiversity economics, highlighting the grim state of biodiversity and calling for action in anticipation of the CBD COP 15. While the Review takes a global perspective on biodiversity policies, it also emphasizes the local nature of biodiversity threats and values. The orthodox approach in diagnosing externalities and natural capital is combined with the 'unorthodox' perspective that the economy is embedded in the environment and growth is limited.

Brazil's conservation reform and the reduction of deforestation in Amazonia

Thales A. P. West et al.

Summary: The Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Deforestation in the Legal Amazon (PPCDAm) implemented in Brazil since 2004 has led to a substantial decline in deforestation rates in the Amazon until 2012, partly due to PPCDAm and partly influenced by economic factors. However, deforestation has been trending upward since 2012 despite control efforts. PPCDAm has evolved through four phases, changing deforestation patterns in the region.
