Afforestation and Reforestation on Degraded Lands in Northwest Sichuan, China
#4of 80 in ARR (afforestation)#312of 1084 in China#443of 1459 in CDM (UNFCCC)
Audit Analysis
A CDM reforestation project in Northwest Sichuan with VVB-verified additionality and quantified leakage, but significant evidence gaps including no monitoring data, no verified ERR figures, and low document extraction confidence. The project-specific baseline and absence of a buffer pool mechanism leave moderate permanence and over-crediting risk unaddressed in the available record.
Red Flags
- No monitoring period or verified ERR figures found in any available document, making it impossible to confirm actual delivery against the 23,030 tCO2 lifetime claim
- Low extraction confidence across the document set means key operational and MRV details may be missing from the record
- Ongoing corrective action requires continued monitoring of contractual relations with land owners, indicating a residual additionality/permanence risk
- No buffer pool or permanence mechanism stated for this reforestation project, leaving reversal risk (fire, disease, land-use change) unquantified
- Buffer pool size not disclosed in available documents
Credit Vintages
