SEQUESTER+
Welcome to the carboncredex SEQUESTER PLUS REGISTRY.
The "SEQUESTER PLUS REGISTRY" has been established as a world-wide region by region register of sustainable and/or plantation forests as well as natural rainforests that are eligible for use as Carbon Credit sinks, investment or for the protection of biological diversity.

TROPICAL RAINFOREST
Global Warming
“We have but a short time to avert damaging and economically debilitating climate change. The solutions are numerous and, as many economists say, affordable when compared with the costs of complacency. The goods and services provided by forests are worth billions if not trillions of dollars to the global economy.
Forests are natural and economically important ‘sinks’, sequestrating carbon from the atmosphere and locking it away in trunks and branches. Globally, forest cover is at least one-third less than what it once was. It is time to reverse the trends, it is time to act.”
Achim Steiner, UNEP Executive Director
Carbon Credits and UNFCCC incentives to avoid deforestation
“…the world has begun to recognise that it needs … tropical forests. The time has come to start paying for them.”
The Economist , 2004. “Saving the rainforest”, July 22nd.
The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto protocol allows developed countries to receive emission credits for financing projects that reduce emissions in developing countries.
And, under the Marrakech accords, a developing country can go it alone, undertaking CDM projects without an Annex I partner, and marketing the resulting emissions credits.
The Protocol does not presently allow for the transfer of credits to developing countries from developed countries for the retention of carbon sinks through the avoidance of deforestation of forest.
At the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Montreal in November and December 2005, two countries, spearheaded the reconsideration of the application of incentives to avoid deforestation of forest in developing countries to thereby reduce total global greenhouse emissions.
