Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2007 in the subject Forestry / Forestry Economics, grade: none, Chittagong University (Institute of Forestry and Environmental Sciences), course: Project paper, language: English, abstract: Global climate change is one of the burning issues of present time where carbon has an important role to play. There is growing local to international concern over the increase of carbon in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere over the last decades. Organic carbon sequestration trapping by plants is thought to be a promising means for reducing atmospheric CO2, an important green house gas. Bangladesh is now facing and will be very adversely affected due to the adverse affect of global climate change. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded in a 2001 report that, by 2100, average global surface temperature will raise 1.40C to 5.80C above 1990 levels. Increase in temperature is a major concern for future when anybody considers climate change.
