"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

5. Concepts
“Forest carbon”
Green house gas (GHG) sequestration and storage by standing forests
(removals), including peatlands
“REDD+”
Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and enhancing
carbon stocks
Deforestation: from forest to non-forest (bare land, other land uses)
Degradation: reduction of forest biodiversity, biomass, and other ecosystem
services
Enhancing carbon stocks: reforestation/afforestation, better forest management
6. Concepts
• REDD+ Projects
• Area: Does not follow political boundaries (e.g., parcels, concessions,
biospheres, community lands)
• Market orientation: Voluntary carbon markets (VCM)
• Results-based payment model: Preparation Certification (Validation –
Verification) Credit issuance Carbon transactions*
• Non-Annex 1 countries
• REDD+ Jurisdictional programs
• Area: Follows a political boundary (e.g., country, province)
• Oriented towards UNFCCC’s Warsaw Framework (2013) and the Paris
Agreement (2015)
• Can include projects (“nested”), but rules are unclear
• Results-based payment model: “Readiness” Implementation Results
Based Payment
• Non-Annex 1 countries
7. Concepts
• Carbon accounting - REDD+ projects (Voluntary Emission Reductions/VERs)
• Accounting based on applicable methods accepted/established by carbon standards (in the
voluntary carbon markets/VCM)
• Based on comparing emissions with/without emissions, using baseline vs. project scenarios
• Monitored through intermittent 3rd party monitoring
• Produces: “Carbon Credits” - Units of emission reductions, in tons CO2 equivalent (tCO2)
• Finance through trading in voluntary (non-compliance) carbon markets
• Carbon accounting - National level (UNFCCC)
• Accounted using national carbon accounting systems that passed technical assessment by an
expert panel coordinated by the UNFCCC secretariat
• Monitored through self-reported biennial update reports/national communications to the
UNFCCC
• Finance through results-based payment mechanisms for jurisdictional REDD+, or bilateral
agreements
8. REDD+ Expectations – Estimated Emission Reductions (ER) Potential
• Forest loss and degradation: 15-20% of global GHG emissions
• Reversing forest loss/degradation: potent “natural climate solution” (Mitigation + Adaptation)
Source: Griscom et al., 2017
“Forest pathways offer over two‐thirds of cost‐
effective NCS mitigation needed to hold warming
to below 2 °C and about half of low‐cost mitigation
opportunities” (p. 11648)
“Natural climate solutions can provide 37% of cost‐
effective CO2 mitigation needed through 2030 for a
>66% chance of holding warming to below 2 °C.”
(Abstract)
9. REDD+ Project Realities – Meeting Expectations
• REDD+ projects < 1/40th the scale of its estimated ER potential
Source: Atmadja et al., 2022
10. REDD+ Realities – Project Numbers, Areas (2018-2020)
• 377 ongoing REDD+ projects. In 56 countries, covering 53 million ha (mha)
• Vs. 2.08 billion ha of forest cover in those countries
• Most, but not all, are in tropical countries
Source: Atmadja et al., 2022
Note: Dots show the approximate location of 377 projects
12. REDD+ Project Realities – Certification
• Main players
• Verra (VCS, CCB, JNR) –
industry leader
• Others: Plan Vivo, Gold
Standard
• Turns forest ‘action’ to forest
‘carbon’ tradable commodity
• For buyers: easiest (only?) way
to gauge quality
• Questions of additionality
• Inflated baselines (West et
al., 2020)
• Strategic site selection
(Badgely et al., 2021)
Source: Atmadja et al., 2022
13. REDD+ Project Realities – Market access
• Getting certified is half the
battle
• Half of VCS certified REDD+
projects can transact by 2020
• Many projects face >= 6 years
between start and 1st sale
Source: Atmadja et al., 2022
161 Verra and Plan Vivo‐certified projects that started between
2007 and 2017
14. REDD+ Project Realities – Market Entry
• Decline in new projects since 2011
• Money not coming on time? High expectations?
• ‘Good’ locations taken? Tougher certification?
• Fear of “nationalization” for achieving NDCs?
(Source: Atmadja et al., 2022)
15. REDD+ Outlooks – Rise of REDD+ Jurisdictional Approach
Jurisdictions are rising
• New financing sources: LEAF coalition ($1bn ready to go, public-private, min
$10/tCO2eq)
• Old financing sources – but more participants “graduate” into RBPs
• World Bank’s Forest Carbon Partnership Facility – Carbon Fund (FCPF-CF) –
USD 5/tCO2eq)
• New certification standards
• VCS’s Jurisdictional and Nested REDD+/JNR
• ART’s The REDD+ Environmental Excellence Standard/TREES
• New domestic carbon markets with REDD+
• Colombia – tax + trade
• TBC: Indonesia – carbon price legislated at IDR 30,000 (+/- USD 2) /tCO2eq
16. REDD+ Outlooks – Rise (?) of REDD+ projects
• 2022 ID-RECCO update (preliminary): Identified 100 new projects in past 2
years
• Largest proportion from Colombia
• Not sure yet how many existing projects ended
• New national registries for REDD+ projects
• Active: Colombia
• In development: Peru, Indonesia
• New standards
• Verra: SD Vista (for SDGs)
17. REDD+ Outlook: Nested Carbon
Accounting
• Issue:
• Projects that pre-exist
national accounting
methods
• Inconsistent methods
(VCM vs. UNFCC)
• Question:
• Payments to projects
when they are in an active
jurisdictional REDD+
program?
• ER accounting for NDCs?
• Cost of adjusting
accounting method?
Source: Atmadja et al., 2022
18. Reflections
• “Real” impact on people vs. biodiversity
• Impact evaluation on people or biodiversity – Rare compared to forest
carbon (Duchelle et al., 2018)
• How to verify claims on livelihoods and biodiversity?
• Parallel financing and accounting systems: Resilient? Inefficient?
• Role of countries: Enabler? Disabler?
