During the trading of the plant carbon registered in the registry system,
the first carbon allowance holder must be the owner or disposer of the land.
When a carbon allowance is traded, the negotiable instrument must be
exchanged through endorsement and these transactions must be recorded
in the registry system. Otherwise, it will be difficult to follow the purchase and
sale transactions and the last owner will not be determined. Therefore, it must
be mandatory to register the purchase and sale of carbon allowances in the
registry system, as is the case with the shipping or mining registry.
For the effective execution of this process, it is necessary to identify the
responsible institution and clarify its authorities. In addition, legislative
amendments are essential for the sustainability of CF projects. These
amendments must be made within the scope of the Constitution, Forest Law
No. 6831, Pasture Law No. 4324, Law No. 5403 on Soil Preservation and Land
Utilization, Tax Legislation and CMB Legislation (Kılıç Hernandez, 2019).

6. Conclusion and Discussion

Global climate change is considered as an important problem requiring
prioritisation of political, economic, social and ecological components
at national and international scale. An economic system in harmony with
nature (e.g. green economy or ecological economy) that takes into account
environmental and social concerns must be adopted instead of traditional
high profit-oriented economic development models. Such a system aims
to protect natural resources with an approach based on justice, equity and
ethical values.

CF practices improve carbon sequestration capacity via a climate-friendly
management of lands. However, in order for these projects to be successful,
appropriate legislative arrangements, financial incentives and technical
support mechanisms must be developed. Furthermore, acceptance of these
projects by local people and farmers is critical for their long-term success. The
innovative and climate-friendly utilisation of degraded or unproductive lands
through CF can offer both environmental and economic benefits.
The recommendations for the establishment of new CSA in non-forest
areas and for the CF practices are as follows:
1. Research and Development: More research should be conducted on
CF practices and their place in voluntary carbon markets should be
strengthened.
