Carbon offset standard system for international carbon sequestration market and the development of forest carbon sequestration projects in China.

Forest plays an important role in the global carbon cycling,and its role of forest in response to the global climate change has attracted the attention of the international society increasingly.Therefore,monitoring and measurement for forest carbon sequestration as the basic work to strengthen forest carbon sequestration ability of forest is exceptionally important,the research of carbon offset standard for international carbon trade market has become one of the hot issues in ecology both at home and abroad.The paper reviewed the background of developing forest carbon sequestration projects in China and compared the features among the main carbon offset standards for international carbon trade market,the paper generalized the development of forest carbon sequestration projects and monitoring and measurement for forest carbon sequestration in China.The paper also analyzed the present situation and significance of developing forest carbon sequestration projects in China.The author put forward some proposes that one of the most important missions to deal with climate change and to improve forest carbon sequestration in China:including promoting forest carbon sequestration pilot projects actively,accumulating management and operation experience,strengthening scientific research efforts and training technical specialists for carbon sequestration projects.
