The Economic Value of Grassland Carbon Sink in Xilingol League, Inner Mongolia

Carbon sink mainly refers to the process or mechanism of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Temperate natural grasslands play a significant but poorly recognized role in the global carbon cycle and its soil carbon stocks amount to at least 10% of the global total. This seminar presents analysis of the economic value of grassland carbon sink in Xilingol league. The study uses the relevant data of animal husbandry in Xilingol League and the Translog Production Function to quantify the grassland carbon sink price.

The economic value of Xilingol grassland carbon sink can be calculated by the price and the storage of the grassland soil carbon and the huge economic benefits of the rich grassland resources can be reflected by showing the economic value of its carbon sink. The study on the value accounting of grassland carbon sink services can promote the rapid development of the carbon sink market and help better understand the impact of grassland carbon sinks on climate change and economic development.

About the speaker

Handav Bolag (Debao Han) is a master’s student from Inner Mongolia University presently studying at the Mongolia Institute of School of Culture History & Language of Australian National University as a visiting student. He is interested in studying the relationship between environmental resources and economic growth, animal husbandry and ecological environment, with a focus on carbon sink and resource management of Inner Mongolia. His current research is focusing on the economic value of grassland carbon sink in Xilingol League.

We look forward to seeing you there.
