| Abstract;The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in 1997 stipulate GHQ emission reduction targets for developed countries. The protocol is designed to use so called 'net approach', which allows parties to use absorption by sinks to meet the commitment. However, the definition and the of the forest("Kyoto Forest") that should be counted under the protocol is not well defined, nor the method to estimate the absorption of carbon is not described. In this paper, we will discuss about the possibilities to make use of remotely sensed data for measuring the carbon sequestration by sinks, as well as summerizing the controversial issues concerning sinks under the protocol.
