Global cost estimates of reducing carbon emissions through avoided deforestation pub iis_for prog_for Tropical deforestation is estimated to cause about one-quarter of anthropogenic carbon emissions, loss of biodiversity, and other environmental services. United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change talks are now considering mechanisms for avoiding deforestation (AD), but the economic potential of AD has yet to be addressed. We use three economic models of global land use and management to analyze the potential contribution of AD activities to reduced greenhouse gas emissions. AD activities are found to be a competitive, low-cost abatement option. A program providing a 10% reduction in deforestation from 2005 to 2030 could provide 0.3-0.6 Gt (1 Gt = 1 x 10^5 g) CO2/yr in emission reductions and would require $0.4 billion/yr to $1.7 billion/yr for 30 years. A 50% reduction in deforestation from 2005 to 2030 could provide 1.5-2.7 Gt CO2/yr in emission reductions and would require $17.2 billion/yr to $28.0 billion/yr. Finally, some caveats to the analysis that could increase costs of AD programs are described. 2008-07 published National Academy of Sciences 10.1073/pnas.0710616105 XJ-08-049 PNAS; 105(30):10302-10307 [2008] [doi:10.1073/pnas.0710616105] 157 219 2856 public Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 105 30 10302-10307 TRUE 1091-6490 FALSE info:eu-repo/semantics/article
