Executive summary
(125 KB)
This report examines a number of issues
related to forestry and forest carbon
sequestration in the Russian Federation.
1. Introduction, Purpose, and Background
(273 KB)
This report synthesizes and summarizes the findings of the detailed companion technical report for the international climate policy community.
2. Available Data for Reporting Russian Carbon Stocks and Fluxes
(753 KB)
This section summarizes the data and
methods used to estimate land uses,
carbon stocks, and carbon fluxes.
3. Historical Trends in Land Use, Carbon Stocks, and Fluxes in Russia (1966 to 2003)
(245 KB)
This section explores the second major
question addressed by this report,
namely, what is the current estimate of
carbon stocks and fluxes in Russia?
4. The Baseline: Future Projections of Land Use, Growing Stock, and Carbon Stocks in Russia
(243 KB)
The baseline represents the business-as-usual conditions considered likely to
arise without any direct policy
interventions intended to sequester carbon.
5. Mitigation Analysis
(401 KB)
In addition to assessing current trends in
carbon fluxes in forests of the Russian
Federation, a main objective of this report is to assess potential forestry actions that could be undertaken to increase the stock of carbon in forests in Russia.
6. Conclusions and Recommendations
(201 KB)
The objectives of this report are to answer three critical questions related to
measuring, monitoring, and managing
carbon stocks and fluxes in Russia.
