<p>There are no sector specific carbon reduction targets for forests and other carbon
sinks but the contribution of these sectors to meeting carbon budgets is set out in
the 2011 Carbon Plan. Forests and other carbon sinks can play a valuable role in the
reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the Government has put in place a range
of policies to realise this reduction. These include the Rural Development Programme,
the Woodland Carbon Code and the UK Forestry Standard as set out alongside Government’s
wider forestry objectives in the Forestry and Woodlands Policy Statement.</p>
