Valor del carbono como apoyo económico para productores de cacao ccn-51 en cantón Pasaje, provincia de El Oro

Abstract

The high concentration of carbon dioxide as an anthropogenic gas has alerted the international community, thus providing a formality called "the Kyoto Protocol" that helps reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases that cause global warming. stabilize gas concentrations and emissions compared to industrialized countries; Thus, the current negotiations on climate change make commitments for the contraction and mitigation of the primary carbon emitters among developing countries. Although the carbon cycle is very complex and at the same time broad, it is intended through emissions trading to promote incentives to reduce them efficiently, helping not only the environment as a commitment but also the place or sector where the stimulus is promoted. Among the catchment projects that are studied below is the carbon from the mulch and standing tree these from cocoa plots. The present research seeks by collecting information from the cocoa plots and later calculations with established formulas, to judge in a better way the carbon in the litter and the standing tree finding its average, that is why it enters the aforementioned protocol, when finding the calculation of the value of the carbon in the world by the quantity found in the indicated plots obtaining a positive value for the producer, analyzing the economic effects of the reduction of carbon emissions under unequal emissions trading hypothesis. Through the cash flow, the difference in income obtained by the producer can be observed, as a considerable incentive for this ecosystem service, while reducing the emissions before and after obtaining the extra economic value as a net flow in effective increases that Improve your income. In this sense, the economic hypothesis proposes various public policy solutions where they emphasize the use of taxes on CO2 emissions, the management of an emissions market through the creation of a system of marketable authorizations or the use of specific ordinances that restricts the emissions of greenhouse gases without ruling out that each of these initiatives certainly has advantages and disadvantages for the sector. In Ecuador, this type of policy should be considered and the Kyoto protocol accepted in the country, to provide a broader education to the most vulnerable sectors, such as cocoa producers who benefit from these ecosystem services and not go unnoticed. Some other points that also provide goods to the environment, which help improve the environment and in turn the worker. This extra economic value for the cocoa producer requires hands that contribute to the thought of providing environmental laws that help the habitat in which we live to be mentioned and known as an ecosystem service and in turn receiving a payment for it.
