Today, the effect of global climate change is clear to all. It is
clearly dangerous in developing countries such as Bangladesh. The
industrial revolution caused major changes in technology,
socio-economy and cultures in the late 18th and early 19th century,
beginning in Britain and spreading throughout the world. The
technology dominated economy was mostly dependent on energy
produced from fossil fuel, which still holds true today. It is well
known that fossil fuel burning has increased the GHGs to the
atmosphere, thus creating global warming. Among the GHGs, the
concentration of CO2 has been confirmed as the largest. Terrestrial
ecosystems are clearly influencing the concentration of GHGs in the
atmosphere. Greenhouse gases are constantly entering and leaving
the atmosphere. Actively growing trees and other plants absorb CO2
from the atmosphere, combine it with water through photosynthesis
and create sugars and more stable carbohydrates. Through this
process, trees capture and store atmospheric CO2 in vegetation,
soils and biomass products. The Kyoto Protocol, in 1997, explored a
flexible mechanism, CDM (Clean Development Mechanism) where Annex I
and non-Annex I parties interact for climate change mitigation.
Forestry activities have been considered important in the arena of
climate change as they act both as a sink and sources of carbon.
The purpose of this book is to highlight the means of efficiently
reducing global warming through forestry options in Bangladesh and
the positive implications of CDM.
