deforestation contributes one fifth of all greenhouse gases. in this poor country, the question is how to stop it. >> ghana needs the trees. ghana needs the money. the environment must be kept intact. >> here is one possible solution -- in what used to be forests, new trees are being planted. 1 million so far. they should make money by absorbing carbon dioxide. >> those seedlings will be growing very rapidly and contain vast amounts of carbon dioxide locked up into the wood of the tree. there is a huge market of individuals and companies who will pay for this project to be implemented by buying carbon credits. >> so how was this: to work? take my journey here. it has made me responsible for about one and half tons of carbon dioxide in it from the airplane. i can offset that by paying this project which is planting these trees. take this one. it will grow over the next 8-10 years and absorb my one and half tons of carbon dioxide. it's a very small start, but it could be very big business. i the aim, if you can picture it, is for the biggest poll

of the greenhouse gas especially carbon that is being pumped into the atmosphere is coming from deforestation and land degradation and forest degradation. now, if you are going to use 35% of the wood and going to allow to be turned into charcoal you are only contributing to the accumulation of more carbon monoxide in the atmosphere. so you are not really helping us with respect to climate change because you are going to have to cut a lot of trees to satisfy your demand. why does africa allow that? because that is wasting your resource when you can only sell 35%. 65% is a big waste because of technology, because of lack of knowledge, because of lack of experience, maybe also lack of capital. so even as i try to help these african heads of states to do a noble thing observing the forest and even though they are saying we want to manage it in a sustainable way therefore we want to allow a certain amount of harvesting of timber but at that rate we are not going to have so these are the areas i think of fudgy 20 and -- the g20, it made affordable so the african people can add value to their produc

the situation is different in developing countries where agriculture and deforestation play a far greaterrole in emissions. land uses are responsible for over one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions. it's difficult to see how greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere can be stabilized without policies that target emissions and carbon sequestration on agriculture and forest lanz. as a result it's vital that america demonstrates how the inclusion of agriculture and forests in a domestic approach to climate change can, in fact, produce real and lasting benefits to both landowners and the climate.9y under climate change legislation the farm sector will experience both costs and benefits. energy price increases can impact rural crop production and other agricultural activities. for example, fertilizer and fuel costs account for 50 to 60% of variable costs of the production of corn. because of the high personal transportation expenditures, rural households are more likely than urban households to feel the pinch of increased gas prices. but and this is an important but, i believe that
