Jatropha seeds through Forest Development Corporation which in turn will supply seeds to Uttarakhand Biofuel Company for processing. Carbon stock and mitigation potential of forests: A comprehensive study by Roy and Joshi (undated) based on the remote sensing data has reported 266.96 Mt of C in the biomass pool of state forests. As per this study (Table) total Carbon content in pools of biomass, forest floor litter and soil is 537.02 Mt.

This potential can be enhanced by afforesting wastelands and increasing the density of open forests. Culturable wastelands and permanent fallows cover 0.457 Mha of area (Ministry of Agriculture, 2005). Likewise open forests and scrub cover 0.293 Mha of the area in the state (FSI, 2008). Even if 25% of these available areas could be planted, the mitigation potential can be enhanced by 0.472 Mt/year assuming a very conservative sequestration rate of 2.52 t C /ha/yr (Singh, 2007a). 30
Payment for ecosystem services: The Himalayan region has 69% of India‟s freshwater resources. The region houses high concentration of poor population and the interactions between the people and the water-related ecosystem are more evident here than anywhere, also they are more affected due to high rainfall and sudden climatic variations. The water resources of the region provide great environmental and ecosystem services through fish production, biomass and wildlife, and transport of fertile soils carried by floodwaters. The high discharge of rivers and the steep terrain provide high potential for power generation. On the flip side, the Himalayan region is riddled with political conflicts over sharing of water resources between states and nations. With the rising inter and intra state water conflicts in the country, smooth inter-sectoral management and allocation of water have become a prime need. The economic value of the services being provided by Himalayan forests is being increasingly recognized. Water availability in downstream states, for example, critically depends on forest cover in the upstream Himalayan states. Several of these states have demanded that they be compensated for maintaining high forest cover at the cost of (foregone) development options. Internationally as well, the notion of 'payments for environmental services' is receiving wide attention. It is being argued that services that were previously not valued in an economic sense and hence were kept outside the purview of market/policy mechanisms need to be explicitly valued so that upstream areas these can be paid for. The payment system could either operate through the market (as a voluntary transfer between a two or more well-defined groups) or through a politically negotiated interstate (or inter-region) fiscal arrangement. In the above context, the Report of Task Force on the Mountain Ecosystems under the Eleventh Five Year Plan (Planning Commission 2006a) explicitly recognizes „the need for clearer understanding of resource flows to and from mountain areas‟. The Report also contends that this will lead to increased income to mountain communities and a fairer distribution of earnings from natural resource exploitation and services provided (Planning Commission 2006a). The Uttarakhand government had submitted a proposal to the 12th Finance Commission in the context of valuation of water resources and has asked for a financial award for the ecosystem services rendered by the state to the 31
