New evaluation framework helps quantify supply and demand of carbon sequestration services

The Lancang Mekong River Basin (LMRB) connects six countries in Southeast Asia. To support the ecological, economic and social sustainable development of the LMRB, low carbon management services need to be implemented in each country within the basin. However, there is still a lack of a science-based, effective assessment framework to identify the relationship between carbon sequestration services (CSS) supply–demand and flow.
