metadata.value: Climate change is one of the most important global problems of the 21st century. The territory
  of Russia is located in an area of significant observed and forecasted climate change.
  Achieving Russia’s carbon neutrality by 2060 requires the development of a national system
  for monitoring greenhouse gas emissions and uptake. To achieve this goal, the Ministry of
  Science and Higher Education launched a pilot programme to create a national network of
  carbon polygons. St. Petersburg State University together with Voeikov Main Geophysical Observatory
  created the concept of Ladoga carbon polygon focusing the study the greenhouse
  gas absorption (or sequestration) potential of forest ecosystems typical for Northwest Russia.
  The evolution of this project assumes the establishment of a forest carbon farm (nature-based
  solutions). Based on the assumption that the territories of forest areas that were previously
  part of the state agricultural lands of the Leningrad region can be used for carbon farms (afforestation,
  enhanced carbon uptake by changing land use), an estimate of CO2 absorption
  has been made. For the total area of forest carbon farms of 677.9 · 103 ha, it was evaluated of
  3700 ± 1900 kt CO2/year or (1000 ± 520) · 106kg С/year. It is shown that the CO2 absorption
  of such carbon farms can offset up to 20 % of the total CO2 emission of the Leningrad Region
  and not more than 8 % of the total CO2 emission for the combined region consisting of Leningrad
  Region and St. Petersburg. The economic effect of the operation of forest carbon farms
  can only be achieved in the long term. At the current price level per tonne of CO2 (35 USD/
  (t CO2)), a 1 hectare of forest carbon farm would yield an income of 9500 USD over a 75-year
  lifetime. This determines the economic feasibility of creating carbon farms, which is also due
  to the potential for the production of carbon units based on them, which will either be traded on carbon exchanges or be taken into account as the results of activities aimed at reducing
  carbon emissions.
