Abstract

This study identified and evaluated conditions for continued participation of private forest owners in forest carbon offset programs. The probability of continuing forest carbon offset projects, which delays greenhouse gas emissions by extending harvesting periods, increases with increasing price of carbon offset credits, public recognition of forest value, and education level. Willingness to Accept (WTA) was estimated using a Multiple Bounded Dichotomous Choice Question, which was 17,039 KRW/tCO2 for extending age to 60 years, and 23,070 KRW/tCO2 for 100 years. The following findings aim to promote participation and supply of carbon offset programs in private forests according to the study outcomes. First, introducing policies supporting private forest owners bearing opportunity costs for avoiding greenhouse gas emissions by postponing timber harvest is needed. Second, educational programs for private forest owners whose awareness of and interests in the public value of forest is necessary. Third, although having participated from the beginning of the offset program, finding ways to lead continuous participation of forest owners who are less likely to accept WTA is also necessary.

본 연구는 산림탄소상쇄사업에 참여한 사유림 산주가 지속적으로 참여할 수 있는 조건들을 밝히고자 하였다. 산주가 벌채 시기를 연장하여 온실가스 배출을 늦추는 벌기령 연장형 산림탄소상쇄사업을 지속할 가능성은 산림탄소상쇄권에 대한 보상가격이 높을수록, 산림의 경제적 가치에 대하여 상대적으로 공익적 가치를 더 생각하는 산주일수록, 그리고 교육 수준이 높을수록 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 산림탄소상쇄권에 대한 수용가능 보상가격(Willingness To Accept, WTA)을 다중양분형 조건부가치평가법을 이용하여 추정한 바, 벌기령을 60년까지 연장할 경우 17,039원/tCO2이었으며, 벌기령을 100년으로 연장할 경우 23,070원/tCO2으로 나타났다. 연구 결과에 따라 사유림의 산림탄소상쇄사업 참여와 공급을 확대하기 위해 다음과 같은 방안을 제시할 수 있다. 첫째, 산림탄소상쇄사업을 통해 공편익을 제공하는 사유림 산주가 부담할 수 있는 기회비용에 대한 정책적 지원이 필요하다. 둘째, 숲의 공익가치에 대한 인식과 관심을 제고하기 위한 교육프로그램 등의 방안이 필요하다. 셋째, 제도 초기에 진입한 산주들이 WTA에 대한 수용 및 참여가능성이 낮은 것으로 드러났기 때문에, 초기 진입 산주의 지속적 참여를 이끄는 방안을 모색해야 한다.
