Abstract:

Baseline, wich has been focused on the research and negotiation on CDM(clean development mechanism), is a crucial issues in the implementation of forestry carbon sink project in CDM. We discussed on some baseline issues associated with forest-based carbon sink project in CDM based on the essential implication of the baseline, types, basic criterion for the establishment of baseline and baseline methods. The processes of baseline methods for afforestation and reforestation projects are introduced, the strengths and weakness of the approach are analyzed,project-special semi-structural baseline that could improve the consistency, transparency of project baseline setting and contributed to the baseline methods for forestry-related projects of China are presented.

Key words: clean development mechanism(CDM), afforestation and reforestation projects, baseline
