The image provides a comprehensive overview of the carbon sink management process, delineating the roles of various stakeholders in achieving carbon neutrality. On the left, a forest owner manages carbon sink forests, which are systematically assessed for their carbon sequestration capabilities. Centrally positioned, the carbon sink management agency oversees the operational framework, disbursing income to forest owners based on their carbon sequestration contributions. The illustration includes a depiction of the carbon cycle, representing the natural processes of carbon sequestration and emission. A digital platform facilitates the trading of carbon credits, enabling various entities to purchase carbon offsets. The public engages in the carbon trading system, potentially as consumers or small-scale purchasers of carbon offsets. Moreover, government bodies, enterprises, and public institutions are shown purchasing carbon credits to mitigate their emissions, thereby contributing to the overarching goal of carbon neutrality. The flow of carbon credits and income among these stakeholders is depicted through directional arrows, underscoring the interconnected and systemic nature of the carbon sink management process.
