Abstract
Cost-effective reduction of GHGs is an important task in the arena of climate change mitigation. This book importantly discusses and argues forests to climate change mitigation as one of many positive response options. It finds both in abstraction and Bangladesh in particular, that forests/forestlands are potential to reduce global warming which can mitigate global climate change effectively. The CDM, an important economic mechanism formulated by the Kyoto Protocol, has been focused as an effective tool for GHG reduction and sustainable development in the non-Annex I countries. As a case study in Bangladesh, this book shows a higher capacity of forests to sequester atmospheric carbon.
