Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2003.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 87-89).
This thesis examines current efforts to sequester carbon dioxide in the forests in Mexico. A brief review of the most relevant examples worldwide is also included in order to explain the international context and introduce some key concepts. The decision regarding the desirability of pursuing carbon sequestration projects does not change when international considerations are included, as the local and national benefits are sufficient in and of themselves. Different efforts carried out in Mexico are described, analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of carbon sequestration, as well as the social, institutional and political barriers to the success of such efforts. Special emphasis is placed on identifying a set of indicators that can be used to monitor and evaluate sequestration projects in the short and long run. It would be desirable to have standardized mechanisms to evaluate the success and failure of such projects worldwide. These indicators should identify major obstacles to and opportunities for improving the implementation of carbon sequestration in developing countries.
