Abstract

The increase of greenhouse gas density due to human activities is a major cause for global warming. It is a universally acknowledged that significant approaches to the slow-down of and adaptability to climate change include vigorously developing carbon sink forestry and increasing forest carbon sink. This paper introduces the development history and research trend of carbon trading, and also discusses the construction process of the ecological service platform for carbon trading. Moreover, it covers the investigation of forest carbon reserves, the design of carbon inventory methods and the set-up of the ecological service platform for forest carbon sink, so as to make rewarding exploration into the realization of sustainable economic and social development.
