Forest carbon sequestration is still a new concept for most people. Since the reform and opening up, with the implementation of key forestry ecological projects in China, great achievements have been made in afforestation and greening. For developing countries like China, it is one of the most feasible and effective measures to absorb carbon dioxide through afforestation activities, offset the greenhouse gas emissions of some industries and reduce the international pressure on China to reduce emissions. Therefore, we should increase investment in forestry through multiple channels. Increase investment in afforestation and forest management. At the same time, in the existing national afforestation projects, consider the carbon sequestration effect of forests as much as possible, put forestry carbon sinks in the same important position as industrial emission reduction, and incorporate the ongoing forestry ecological construction in China into the international action to deal with climate change, so as to win the initiative for China in the international negotiations to deal with climate change and related international environmental diplomacy.

In 2004, China began carbon sequestration. The State Forestry Administration has implemented afforestation and reforestation projects in Guangxi, and the Biocarbon Fund of the World Bank is used as a carbon sink pilot. Sichuan and Yunnan are also using funds raised by international conservation organizations to start carbon sequestration pilot projects. China will continue to promote carbon sequestration projects. China is vigorously implementing key forestry projects such as natural forest resources protection and returning farmland to forests. According to the forestry development plan of China, in the next 50 years, China will increase the forest area by 90.66 million hectares.

At present (20 10), China's greenhouse gas emissions account for 50% of the total emissions of developing countries and 15% of the total global emissions. China is rapidly changing from a low-energy country to a high-energy country, which will be followed by a large amount of carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, it has become one of the most concerned focuses in the world. By 2050, China's energy consumption will account for about 60% of the global energy consumption. This is a great challenge to China and the world.

Forest carbon sink is the most economical means of carbon absorption in the world. China government has always attached great importance to forestry. In February 2009, General Secretary Hu Jintao emphasized at the United Nations Climate Change Summit that by 2020, 40 million hectares of forest area and 654.38+300 million cubic meters of forest stock will be increased on the basis of 2005. It can be seen that forestry has become the most effective way to develop low-carbon economy in China, and the country will accelerate the pace of afforestation and increase the function of forest carbon sink. At the end of 2009, the National Development and Reform Commission announced the forestry industry revitalization plan, and clearly pointed out the policy of expanding forestry credit support.
