Exploring a new model of carbon sequestration for poverty alleviation in forestry

The reporter learned from the Guizhou Provincial Development and Reform Commission on the 13th that Guizhou will make use of the region's rich forestry carbon sequestration resources to carry out a pilot project of accurate poverty alleviation by individual carbon sequestration, and explore a new poverty alleviation model of "Internet + ecological construction + accurate poverty alleviation." help Guizhou poverty alleviation work and ecological construction.

According to reports, the accurate poverty alleviation of individual carbon sequestration is based on a scientific and strict method, which takes the qualified woodland resources owned by poor households, the carbon dioxide absorbed by each tree as a product, and sells them to the whole society through the accurate poverty alleviation platform of single carbon sequestration. All the funds for the purchase of forest carbon dioxide will be remitted to the accounts of the corresponding poor households to help them increase their income.

At present, nine deep poverty-stricken villages in eight cities, including Guankou Village, Qibo Town, Pingba District, Anshun City, and Xiangping Village, Luping Town, Fuquan City, Qiannan Prefecture, have started the development of a single carbon sequestration pilot project, and the development of a single carbon sequestration poverty alleviation project for 10 deep poverty villages will be launched in the near future. In the future, it is expected to cover 200 deeply poor villages in the province, helping 20000 poor households out of poverty and preventing them from returning to poverty.

Zhang Meijun, deputy director of the Guizhou Provincial Development and Reform Commission, said that purchasing carbon sinks can not only help Guizhou's poverty alleviation work, but also offset carbon emissions generated by individuals and organizations, promote the construction of ecological civilization in Guizhou, and enhance the awareness and determination of the whole society to deal with climate change.
