4 What can we expect as the CDM evolves?
		Will the benefits of the CDM be worth our effort?
		The uptake, storage and release of carbon by terrestrial vegetation look likely to have increasing economic implications over the coming decades. The institutions responsible for land use will therefore need to begin to integrate carbon considerations into the other objectives of land management.
		Certain questions should be kept under review as the CDM market develops, to better ascertain whether or not to encourage CDM projects in the land use sector - notably: who could benefit? by how much? under what conditions? can other funds and benefits be leveraged? The CDM may not always be the best mechanism for a land use project or for securing social, economic and environmental improvement. As climate change awareness increases worldwide, parallel programs promoting carbon sequestration are likely to be promoted, as in the case of carbon-funded forest conservation programmes promoted by some environmental NGOs.
