Towards Implementing Carbon Markets in Agriculture
探讨农业碳市场设计中的关键问题，即碳汇的暂时性，并介绍三种应对机制，对关注农业减排政策的研究者和决策者有参考价值。
Despite the interest in carbon markets or programs for which agriculture could be rewarded for storing carbon, there are still substantive questions about how such mechanisms could be designed to meet this task and be generally acceptable to the international community. One of the most problematic of these issues is the fact that, unlike reductions in emissions, carbon sinks may only temporarily hold carbon out of the atmosphere. Until policy mechanisms that appropriately incorporate the potentially temporary nature of sinks are developed, it is unlikely that agricultural sequestration will gain widespread acceptance. In this paper, the authors introduce and discuss three such mechanisms.
