Description
Potential policy options for greenhouse gas emissions reductions under review by the UN-sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are discussed: emissions from biomass burning during forest conversion to land uses; increasing carbon storage in forest and agricultural systems; and increasing reliance on and improving the efficiency of bioenergy systems. The relative costs and benefits and the environmental implications of response options are evaluated
