    How to measure carbon equity: Carbon Gini index based on historical cumulative emission per capita

    The Berkeley Electronic Press, 2011
    Using economic tools such as the Lorenz Curve and the Gini Index with adjustments to per capita historical cumulative emissions, this paper constructs a Carbon Gini Index to measure inequality in climate change discussions.

    Trees on farms: Tackling the triple challenge of mitigation, adaptation and food security

    World Agroforestry Centre, 2009
    This short policy brief highlights three key points and provides various policy recommendations in relations to these: - Trees help fight climate change by storing carbon.- They buffer against weather-related production losses, enhancing resilience against climate impacts.- And trees on farms provide additional income and diversity of food sources through tree-based products.

    Reducing emissions from deforestation, inside and outside the forest

    ASB Partnership for the Tropical Forest Margins, 2010
    New data from Indonesia suggests that one-third of greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation originate from areas not officially defined as ‘forest’. Accounting for carbon in the whole landscape and Reducing Emissions from All Land Uses (REALU) can be more effective in reducing emissions.
