The primary goal of this protocol is to provide a rigorous framework for quantifying the net climate benefits of activities that sequester carbon on forestland. It serves as a guide for project eligibility, calculation methods for greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions, and monitoring requirements.
: Deforestation and degradation currently drive up to 20% of global anthropogenic emissions. Forestry Pack v 3.0
The following report focuses on the , which establishes requirements for sequestering carbon and managing forest health. Overview of Forestry Protocol v 3.0 The primary goal of this protocol is to
: Preventing the conversion of forestland to non-forest uses. 2. Carbon Sequestration and Climate Impact The following report focuses on the , which
Forests act as both emitters and sinks of carbon. Through photosynthesis, trees absorb CO2 and store it as biomass.
Modern forestry management must address several high-impact stressors: Forest, Land and Agriculture (FLAG)
A "Forest Project" under this version is defined as a planned set of activities designed to increase CO2 removals or prevent emissions by conserving forest carbon stocks.
