The Department-related Parliamentary Standing Committee on Science & Technology, Environment & Forests in its meeting held on 20th August, 2007, decided to take up for examination the aspects relating to Global Warming and its Impact on India and report thereon.

This paper analyzes institutional design, organizational capacity, and interplay in markets for ecosystem services. It examines the development of a market-based mechanism to commercialize forest carbon in Mexico through the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). This is compared with a State-run carbon forestry program aiming to provide emission rights to voluntary, retail-based, carbon markets.

The Supplementary Draft Report of the Garnaut Climate Change Review should be read in conjunction with the Draft Report released on 4 July 2008. Is it possible to secure effective international action to reduce the risks of dangerous climate change to acceptable levels, presuming that Australia would play its proportionate part in the global effort?
