Abstract

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 [...]

Highlights

  • Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations

  • Important are the socio-economic cobenefits of C sequestration, given their implications on properly designed policies especially on restoration and/or conservation of forests located in the tropical eco-regions

  • It is crucial to design this activity for environmentalists, foresters, policymakers, etc., due to the inadequate availability of data, the methodologies used to predict the baseline values of C stocks, and the inadequate facilities used to assess the broader environmental and socio-economic effects

Summary

Introduction

Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. The huge contribution of C sequestered in the vegetation and its underlain soil helps to protect socio-economic damages from climate change [2]. Proper land-use management practices, when adopted in advance, could increase the carbon stock (vegetation and soil) and further help with climate change mitigation.
