Title: CDM Forests in Bangladesh and Learning from the Reforestation Success of the Republic of Korea
Abstract: The CDM is an important economic tool to mitigate global climate change and support sustainable development in the non-Annex I countries. Bangladesh, a non-Annex I country, can be a potential host country of the forests-CDM projects, because of the potentialities of the carbon sequestration in the forests. This chapter finds that afforestation and reforestation (A/R) may be one of the greatest choices in conserving the existing carbon sink because it offers the opportunities of carbon credits that are subject to the end use of the forest products. The chapter focuses the legal frameworks of the A/R CDM activities and critical issues which should be resolved by the policy interventions in Bangladesh. The study also figures out the reforestation success of the Republic of Korea and suggests to Bangladesh what can be learnt from the Republic of Korea. The outcome of this study will be of great importance to the policy makers in the field of forest restoration in Bangladesh and global warming mitigation.
