ABSTRACT

In the process of human civilization and progress, ecological problems have become increasingly prominent. As the foundation of human survival and development, forest can not only provide a wide range of production and living resources, but also create a lot of economic benefits. Fujian Province is a big forestry province; the value of forest carbon sink is quite considerable. From the perspective of evaluation, the economic value of forest carbon sink in Fujian Province was estimated by determining the price of total forest carbon storage and carbon sink. Finally, from the three aspects of strengthening the government-oriented role to promote the scale economy of carbon sink, strengthening multi-party cooperation to promote the development of upstream and downstream multiple industrial chains, and increasing scientific and technological investment to promote the healthy development of carbon sink economy, this paper puts forward countermeasures and suggestions for the development of forest carbon sink in Fujian Province, so as to realize the sustainable development of forestry.
