Blujdea 2

Significant areas of degraded and unproductive land in Romania create ecological and economic imbalances due to a lack of overall land use policy. The Kyoto Protocol initiated flexible mechanisms under Articles 3.3 and 3.4 that provide opportunities to finance afforestation of degraded lands. Afforestation is an eligible activity that is environmentally beneficial by enhancing biodiversity and local/global benefits. It is also economically effective by improving land use, enhancing local resources, improving living standards, and stimulating rural economies. Long-term forestry projects require infrastructure for implementation, risk management, and ecological and social monitoring.

ABSTRACT
Significant degraded and unproductive land areas creates ecological and economical unbalances at national and local level, on the overall land use missing
policy. Kyoto Protocol of the UNCCD has initiated flexible mechanisms, as
practical and environmental effective, that offer various opportunities, including
incentives by financing and identification of other resources for forestry (Art 3.3
and 3.4 of the Kyoto Protocol). Afforestation of degraded lands is an eligible
activity as environmentally (enhancing biodiversity, local and global benefits),
and economically effective (improving of land use, enhancement of local
resources base, improving of living standard, stimulating of economical rural
environment). Due to long duration of forestry projects, such an initiative call
for a certain infrastructure for the project implementation, risks control and
management, ecological and social monitoring of ongoing projects.
Keywords:Kyoto protocol, afforestation, carbon sequestration
