The Research On The Forestry Carbon Sinks And Trading Scheme

As a major challenge to the sustainable development for the human society, thechanging of climate has been paid more and more attention by the whole world.Forests are an important part of the global carbon cycle and also the major storage ofterrestrial carbon. As the largest terrestrial ecosystem, forest ecosystem not only haseffects on economy, society and environment but also plays a significant role inmitigating the global warming problem due to the existence of forestry carbon sinks.And the sustainable forestry carbon sinks economy development can help achievethree purposes at one time which are promoting economic development, stabilizingsociety and protecting environment. The21stcentury creates a new starting point forthe development of human being and also we are pleased to see the rapid developmentof social economy and the innovation of science and technology. However, the idea ofharmonious society made us re-examine what we had lost in spite of theseachievements. Tsunamis, earthquakes, snowstorms, droughts and other large disastersoccur frequently and the normal life has been disturbed by this dream. And then webegan to realize that the disaster caused by environment imbalance and the globalwarming is the most urgent challenge for the survival of human being in the21stcentury. As the greenhouse effect and the shortage of energy became more and moreserious, we cannot ignore that we are facing the challenge by our self-destructiontype of development. As a large developing country, China should play an importantrole in the international stage of energy conservation and its economic growth shouldadapt to the amount of carbon emission reductions. Especially in Jilin Province whichis one of the six state-owned forests in China, is China’s major forestry base. Facedwith the serious situation, Chinese government has adopted a positive attitude to dealwith the problem which includes promoting the ability of forestry carbon sinks anddeveloping the forestry.This dissertation is based on the whole country and taking Jilin Province as astarting point, and then delve into the problem of sustainable forestry carbon sinkseconomy development. Finally, the article will give some suggestion for the sustainable forestry carbon sinks economy development in China. This dissertationfirstly defined the concepts of emission trading scheme, sustainable development andforestry carbon sinks referred to literature regarding sustainable forestry carbon sinksdevelopment home and abroad. And secondly the problem of sustainable developmenthas been measured from economy, society and ecology. Thirdly, a model whichdescribes the influential elements of sustainable forestry carbon sinks economydevelopment has been established by AHP. Fourthly, through the assessment frommany experts, the weight of economic factors comes to0.0833, the weight of socialfactors comes to0.7235and the weight of ecological factors comes to0.1932.(Socialfactors>ecological factors>economic factors) Finally, the paper find problems andrisks and then provide some recommendations to sustainable forestry carbon sinkseconomy development in Jilin Province: First, the policy of forestry carbon sinksshould be improved. Second, learning standards and methodology should be putforward. Third, the carbon trade should be propagandized greatly and the ability toresist natural disaster of forests should be enhanced. Fourth, a great number of talentsof forestry carbon sink economy are required. Last, international exchange andcooperation should be promoted.The recommendations in this paper are in favor of sustainable development offorestry carbon sinks economy. And also scientific basis of theory and practice isprovided for the future carbon sinks economy development in both Jilin Province andother area. In addition, the recommendations provide scientific references for theecological civilization construction in order to realize the sustainable development ofeconomy, society and ecology.
