Carbon Cycles and Sinks Network

developing policy for land based carbon sequestration in Ireland

In September 2008, Feasta, the Foundation for the Economics of Sustainability was awarded multi-annual funding from the Irish Department of the Environment for two policy research projects. The Carbon Cycle and Sinks website documents the development of Carbon Cycles and Sinks project. The purpose of this Carbon Cycles and Sinks project is to develop policies which will enable the Irish land mass to become a carbon sink rather than a source of greenhouse emissions.
