Abstract

By capturing international resources through economic instruments, such as clean development mechanisms, forest plantations can be established for carbon capture. This could bring countless benefits to many areas of the country that are currently lagging behind; both environmental (reduction of pressure on natural forests, protection of water sources, improvement of landscape quality, mitigation of global climate change, among others) and social (job creation, economic reactivation of the countryside, etc.).
