Abstract

In this paper, we analyzed the changes and roles in forest from the preparatory meeting of Framework Convention on Climate Change, and how Kyoto Protocol effects on forest management and global warming. After IPCC first assessment commented the role of forest, some Scandinavian countries insisted on the sink at the intergovernmental negotiation on Framework Convention. However, forest was thought to be significant sink owing to the accumulated scientific results at the AGBM discussed quantified emission limitation. Parties of the Conference made proposal of net or gross approach as the calculation method for CO2 emissions. Highly forest stock countries could offset CO2 emissions to some extent tended to support net approach subtracted absorption of forest. Article 3 on Kyoto Protocol was decided politically and was reflected a part of scientific results at IPCC. It has the problem that once afforestation regard as the absorption of carbon, it may disturb the biological diversity in the forest. Therefore, to develop effective methods for preventing global warming, further discussion should be conducted based on scientific results, as well as keeping in mind the difference of opinions among countries.
