Impact of the global forest industry on atmospheric greenhouse gases FAO Forestry paper Series, Vol. 159
Langue : Anglais
Auteur : MINER R.
This publication examines the numerous and complex connections between the
global forest products industry and the global carbon cycle, with the
objective of characterizing the carbon footprint of the sector. The study
considers six types of industry impact: carbon sequestration and storage
in forests and forest products; emissions from manufacturing facilities or
from electricity producers supplying these facilities; other emissions
attributable to product manufacturing; emissions from product transport
and use; emissions associated with end-of-life management; and emissions
avoided elsewhere in society owing to the forest products industry.
Globally, the impact of the industry on carbon in forests cannot be
described quantitatively because of the lack of data in many parts of the
world and the complexity of the industry's raw material supply chain. Data
from some countries, however, suggest that sustainable forest management
practices can be effective in keeping forest carbon stocks stable over
time. Some of the carbon removed from the forest remains stored in forest
products, providing significant benefits.
