| A
University of Toronto partnership between the Institute
for Environmental Studies (IES), the
Department of Geography and the
Faculty of Forestry has been awarded a $2.3 million
grant from the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA)
to apply Canadian modelling and remote sensing technology to understand
the role of land-use change in China's carbon cycle. |
The
goal of the project is to contribute to the global effort of reducing
net greenhouse gas emissions by enhancing China's capacity to
sequester carbon in natural sinks, thereby supporting environmentally
sustainable development in China.
The
anticipated result is that China will possess enhanced ability
to increase ecosystem carbon stocks through the development of
technical and human resources and more effective land-use and
afforestration planning and policies. |
