A Global Analysis of the Cost-Efficiency of Forest Carbon Sequestration Environment Working Paper No. 185

The paper proposes a ranking of the countries where forest carbon sequestration is the most cost-efficient among 166 countries for which data are available. Taking into account the main cost factors leads to a more nuanced ranking of the countries to be favoured for cost-efficient forest carbon sequestration compared to the assumption that these would always be in tropical areas with high rainfall...

i-Tree - Tools for Assessing and Managing Community Trees & Forests

i‐Tree is a suite of free software tools for estimating and quantifying the benefits trees provide to our communities. These benefits are typically expressed in dollars and amounts of carbon dioxide and air pollution removal (ozone, sulfur dioxide, etc.), as well as stormwater reduction. Raising awareness of these tree benefits increases the desire to nurture and protect trees...
