“…While these cited contributions support the hypothesis I advanced long ago, it is by no means the last word on discount rates, as witness an alternative declining trend over time postulated recently by Weitzman (2010). Furthermore, the shadow pricing of revenues and costs in public investments to reflect other forms of market failure (Campbell and Brown 2003;Boardman et al 2011) raises other issues.…”

This paper aims to provide guidance as to how better to assess sustainability in certification schemes, such as the Australian Forestry Standard, and to provide suggestions for related changes to certification guidelines.The meaning of sustainability in relation to forestry and the principles underpinning sustainability and the calculation of sustained yield are examined to see how best they can be assessed in certification schemes, given the complexities of temporal and spatial change. To be useful in certification, such principles need to be capable of translation into auditable features, be they qualitative or quantitative. They also need to recognise the realities of demand and supply movements, landscape change, natural disasters, technological change and risk management. Forestry Tasmania's sustainable yield planning provides a case study that illuminates some of these issues, including the associated process of risk management.The sustainability of jointly supplied environmental goods and services (e.g. wood and biodiversity) is more difficult to assess but also needs to be capable of audit-often involving, among other things, spatial assessment of conditions such as species diversity, fragmentation and connectedness and application of the precautionary principle.

“…It is also possible to apply methods taking account of, for example, the social benefits of projects, e.g. according to Cost Benefit Analysis (Cambell & Brown, 2003) or the Social Return on Investment (Kratky & Tetrevova, 2012).…”

“…The local market price of forest products, wages of labor and verification of household information was done during focus group discussion and key informant survey. The secondary information of administration and management cost from 2006-2010 and other community forest related information was taken from CFOP, (2006) The economic valuation of the community forest was made on the basis of benefit cost ratio (Campbell et al, 2003). The benefit cost ratio was analyzed at different rate of carbon credit including and excluding willingness to pay.…”

One of the major policies in response to global climate change is reduction of green house gases emission. Community forests of Nepal are acting as major sources and sink of green house gases, in spite of providing socio-economic benefits to the user groups. There is a lack of information on whether community forests address the socio-economic disparity of user groups, and how it affects opportunity cost and willingness to pay to the forest users groups. Focusing on how the socio-economic conditions of forest users affect forest management, opportunity cost and willingness to pay; and effect of carbon trading mechanism and discounting on the cost benefit ratio, this study was carried out in one CF in western Nepal. The data collection methods included carbon stock measurement, household survey, focus group discussion and key informant interview. Study has shown that most of the forest users are in medium and poor economic classes and female involvement in forest conservation and management was remarkable. Poor people had high dependency on forest product and are most likely affected in terms of opportunity cost. Rich people were willing to pay more to sustain forest ecosystem services. Benefit cost ratio measured directly with and without discounting was 3.91 and 2.97, respectively. The findings of the present study indicate that the community forests users groups are benefitted from the current state of management.
