Recently, the MAGNET model, together with information from IMAGE has been applied to derive cost curves for emission reduction from deforestation and forest degradation ([[hasAcronym::REDD]]), by excluding, in a series of experiments, carbon rich areas from agricultural expansion, and using resulting changes in GDP to estimate cost of emission reduction per ton carbon (Overmars et al. forthcoming). | Recently, the MAGNET model, together with information from IMAGE has been applied to derive cost curves for emission reduction from deforestation and forest degradation ([[hasAcronym::REDD]]), by excluding, in a series of experiments, carbon rich areas from agricultural expansion, and using resulting changes in GDP to estimate cost of emission reduction per ton carbon (Overmars et al. forthcoming). | ||
