Valoración económica de la captura de carbono como un servicio ambiental en la cuenca hidrográfica Quebrada Jui, municipio de Tierralta, Córdoba - Colombia

Abstract

The present work corresponds to a methodology that allows to approximate the monetary value of environmental goods and services -BSA-, offered by the Jui stream in the municipality of Tierralta, Córdoba; These data allow us to advance in the valuation processes of intangible environmental goods and services, such as the capture of CO2 by the soil. The result of this research allows the establishment of sustainable policies for the protection of the ecosystem, as an instrument that encourages the green economy, which implies the provision of appropriate and coherent economic and environmental systems with the purpose of achieving environmental sustainability in the basin.

It is important to highlight the innovation of the research in establishing a greater approximation to the environmental value of the BSA generated by the soil; because the carbon markets every day become a viable alternative for the generation of sustainable economies in full urban growth of the planet.
