Ethical issues associated with the use of the off-market function of the forest

Abstract

With theme off-market function of the forest some social and ethical specificities are linked. In addressing the problem of reducing greenhouse gas production, we encounter the problem of negative externalities, which in this case is associated with ethical issues of greenhouse gas emissions by issuers, towards residents who suffer from the negative effects of this externality.

Another aim is to consider the possibility and the way of payments to the owners of the forest and the land for non-production function. As a result, a more equitable distribution of the income flowing from the emission allowance market among residents, for example in the form of a public good, is proposed.

This redistribution of income can remove social injustice and mitigate the effects of negative externalities. Indirect payments in the form of subsidies to a public good would eliminate the problem of fair calculation and distribution of direct payments.
