Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a response to global climate change, policies have increasingly incorporated forest carbon offset projects into mitigation efforts. To this end, California has implemented the first US forest carbon offset program within a compliance cap-and-trade system. Improved Forest Management projects allow for the production of forest products while also providing landowners with an alternative revenue stream. Therefore, the inclusion of these projects may have important implications for landowner livelihoods and the health of their forests. Landowners have a variety of motivations for participating within this type of program. However, nonindustrial private forest (NIPF) owner behavior is particularly complex and motivated by multiple objectives, including economic incentives. This research aimed to identify motivations and barriers to NIPF participation within this carbon offset program. Although studies have provided information on landowner behavior within hypothetical markets, this research focused specifically on NIPF participation within California’s newly implemented forest carbon offset program. A mail questionnaire was used to assess NIPF perceptions of forest project requirements. Most respondents were interested in participating in this program in order to receive additional revenue and to improve forest health, regardless of forest ownership objectives. However, participants also identified possible constraints in joining the market, such as the lengthy time commitment, high costs, and protocol complexity. The results of this study contribute to the growing body of knowledge regarding NIPF behavior within incentive-based management programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, the world’s governments have struggled to move from talk to action on climate. Many now hope that growing public concern will lead to greater policy ambition, but the most widely promoted strategy to address the climate crisis – the use of market-based programs – hasn’t been working and isn’t ready to scale. Danny Cullenward and David Victor show how the politics of creating and maintaining market-based policies render them ineffective nearly everywhere they have been applied. Reforms can help around the margins, but markets’ problems are structural and won’t disappear with increasing demand for climate solutions. Facing that reality requires relying more heavily on smart regulation and industrial policy – government-led strategies – to catalyze the transformation that markets promise, but rarely deliver.

Book excerpt: A teenage girl's odyssey from amateur thief to master criminal. On April 15, 1994 at 2 A.M., an individual, disguised as a policeman, rang the doorbell at the Elizabeth Phillips Museum in Boston. Forty-five minutes later four of the world's masterpieces disappeared from the face of the earth. A decade earlier a teenage girl made an amateur attempt to burglarize a house in the historic town of Lexington, and was caught by its owner. From that day forward, a lonely, frightened, unloved; teenager heading for inevitable disaster evolves into a beautiful, sophisticated young woman. A woman with knowledge far beyond her years, and the ability to seduce her adversaries in the quest to achieve her goals in life. She uses the talents taught to her by her mentor to establish herself in the art world as an expert, while she steals millions of dollars worth of art. FBI agent, Susan Cardello, is frustrated at every turn in the investigation, until she discovers a set of forgotten notes. The notes contain information, which only she would recognize, that makes everything crystal clear, but all too late.

Book excerpt: Reduce your carbon footprint from day 1 - "Carbon Detox" explains the changes each of us can make at home, at work and in every aspect of our lives. From summer heat waves to rising sea levels, climate change affects us all. The main cause is carbon dioxide and our carbon emissions are growing year by year at a frightening rate. However, there is hope. The changes we make now can slow the effects of climate change and preserve the planet for future generations. George Marshall shows you how to carbon audit your life and start reducing your impact today. He also explains how to overcome psychological blocks such as scepticism, fear and feelings of insignificance. This book includes advice on low carbon transport options and holidays and how to create an energy-efficient home. With the help of "Carbon Detox" you will be able to make real differences from day 1.The author's charity will provide extensive cross-promotional support including talks and workshop events. This is the first book to show how the ordinary 'non-greenie' can make realistic and meaningful changes. It is written by an expert author who lives in a low carbon home. It features carbon calculators for the home, transport and food.

This book was released on 2010-02-08 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emissions trading is central to the Government's efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the UK. This inquiry examines the prospects for a global carbon market and the implications of this for further development of the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). It reviews the impact and future prospects for the EU ETS in meeting the Government's twin objectives of reducing emissions at lowest cost and setting a carbon price that delivers investment in low-carbon technologies. The EU ETS has emissions caps set too high to force emitters to make the often costly investment decisions which would reduce emissions. The recession has only served to loosen what little constraint the cap provided. The carbon price has been too low to encourage the necessary investment in low-carbon processes and infrastructure. The cap mechanism therefore needs to be significantly tightened. This should be supported by cancelling 'new entrant reserve' allowances and auctioning as many allowances as possible, rather than giving them away for free (with the revenues possibly hypothecated to climate change measures). The Government should explore the possible use of a carbon tax. It should also encourage more use of allowance auctions with reserve prices, more use of incentives for low-carbon power generation and emissions performance standards for electricity generation. The emphasis should also be on harmonising the approach internationally, and on extending effective emissions trading systems. The Committee lists 19 conclusions and recommendations.
