Socio-Economic Impacts of Carbon Sequestration on Livelihoods and Future Climate

<p>In the modern era of industrial revolution urbanization and deforestation of forest land carbon (C) sequestration through well-known activities called land use land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) could establish a win-win situation from a climate change and sustainable development perspective. Equally important are the socio-economic co-benefits of C sequestration given their implications on properly designed policies especially on restoration and/or conservation of forests located in the tropical eco-regions. Further the huge contribution of C sequestered in the vegetation and its underlain soil helps to protect socio-economic damages from climate change. This book explores the C sequestration of vegetation and its underlying soil deforestation as well as its impact on climate change a vulnerability risk assessment for the climate socio-economic impacts and the mitigation of future climate impact strategies. The theme of the book extends across environmental policy (e.g. the Paris Agreement and REDD+) C sequestration in the terrestrial ecosystems the applicability of land use and the C credit generated at regional and global scales. This book is highly useful for environmentalists hydrologists soil scientists and policymakers to understand the C sequestration potential of the vegetation and underlying soil in the terrestrial ecosystems at the regional national and global scale to further study the long-term impacts on socio-economic development resulting from its implementation via climate change modeling.</p>
