Variable General Info
Aboveground biomass carbon pool ?Comment:Value determined by LULC. |
Annual rate of change in the price of carbon ?Comment:Adjusts the value of sequestered carbon as the impact of emissions on expected climate change-related damages changes over time. The default value in the interface is 0% (labeled “The annual rate of change in the price of carbon (%) (optional)” in the tool interface). However, setting this rate greater than 0% suggests that the societal value of carbon sequestered in the future is less than the value of carbon sequestered now. It has been widely argued that GHG emissions need to be curtailed immediately to avoid crossing a GHG atmospheric concentration threshold that would lead to a 3 degree Celsius or greater change in global average temperature by 2105.Some argue that such a temperature change would lead to major disruptions in economies across the world (Stern et al. 2006). Therefore, any mitigation in GHG emissions that occurs many years from now may have no effect on whether or not this crucial concentration threshold is passed. If this is the case, C sequestration in the far future would be relatively worthless and a carbon discount rate greater than zero is warranted. Alternatively, setting the annual rate of change less than 0% (e.g., -2%) suggests that the societal value of carbon sequestered in the future is greater than the value of carbon sequestered now (this is a separate issue than the value of money in the future, a dynamic accounted for with the market discount rate). This may be the case if the damages associated with climate change in the future accelerate as the concentration of GHGs in the atmosphere increases. This variable is optional. |
Belowground biomass carbon pool ?Comment:Values determined by LULC class. |
Dead organic matter carbon pool ?Comment:Values determined by LULC class. |
Market discount rate ?Comment:Reflects society’s preference for immediate benefits over future benefits (labeled “Market discount rate (%) (optional)” in the tool interface). The default value in the interface is 7% per year, which is one of the market discount rates recommended by the U.S. government for cost-benefit evaluation of environmental projects. However, this rate will depend on the country and landscape being evaluated. Philosophical arguments have been made for using a lower discount rate when modeling climate change related dynamics, which users may consider using. If the rate is set equal to 0% then monetary values are not discounted. This variable is optional but is required to compute the value of carbon sequestered. |
Soil carbon pool ?Comment:Values determined by LULC class. |
Value of a sequestered metric ton of carbon ?Comment:For applications interested in estimating the total value of carbon sequestration, we recommend value estimates based of damage costs associated with the release of an additional ton of carbon (the social cost of carbon (SCC). Stern (2007), Tol (2009), and Nordhaus (2007a) present estimates of SCC. For example, two SCC estimates we have used from Tol (2009) are $66 and $130 (in 2010 US dollars) (Polasky et al. 2010). For applications interested in estimating the value that could be gained by trading carbon credits in the current markets, the value can be taken from the current market prices on the Chicago or European Climate Exchanges. This variable is optional but is required to compute the value of carbon sequestered. |
