CASMGS Research
"It is unclear at this time if the potential to pay producers to sequester carbon will occur in a market framework, through government conservation programs, or a mix of both. I will be analyzing current national and international policies that are likely to affect the development of carbon sequestration programs. U.S. government programs will need to be structured to abide by U.S. commitments under the World Trade Organization’s Agreement on Agriculture. Questions also exist at the international level on the compatibility of WTO disciplines and the Kyoto Protocols’ approach to reduce CO2 emissions and to trading emission reduction units."
