  3. Purpose of the Socio-economic Component • Capture human-biophysical interactions related to carbon • Understand land user’s socio-economic rationale • Identify trade-offs • Sustainability of carbon benefits

  4. CBP Cost-Benefit Analysis Intro • Shows net benefits of land management practice over time • Assesses if a LMP is financially rational for the land user to implement • Shows profitability of each LMP for comparison • Aids in the decision making process • Aids in the decision-making process on which land use activities are most profitable for land users to implement • Helps to determine the main barriers to carbon friendly practices (such as the initial investment barrier and labour barrier) • Identifies the trade offs that occur as a result of implementing practices that increase carbon benefits • Facilitates judgement on which land management practices to recommend and the support measures needed for uptake to spread

  5. Why Use the CBA Tool? • Answers questions: • What are the economic barriers a land user faces to adopt practices? • high initial investment and labour required? • high risk involved? • How do barriers and profitability of GHG friendly practices compare to that of GHG emitting practices? • What tradeoffs do land users have to make to adopt GHG friendly practices? • What support measures are needed for uptake to spread?

  6. What isa Cost-Benefit Analysis? • Net Benefits of practice

  7. What isa Cost-Benefit Analysis? • Discount Rate Applied • Net benefits accrued in later years of the project are discounted more than the earlier years

  8. Applying the Cost-Benefit Analysis to CBP • Simple Financial CBA • Non-monetary Costs and Benefits not included • - Captured in DPSIR Analysis or CBA Report • From Land User’s Perspective • Duration of 10 Years • All units in per hectare per year

  9. CBA Web Tool Ningxia Worked Example • Project Scenario 1: Ningxia Alfalfa • Project Scenario 2: Ningxia Grapes

  10. Objective of this CBA: To compare which Land Management Practice, growing Alfalfa or Grape, is more financially rational for a landuser to adopt. Perennial Cropland Alfalfa 0 0 500 Grapes -50 100 -100 200
