Analysis

The Bishop Improved Forest Management Project has a confirmed carbon reversal event caused by Beech Bark Disease with compensation still pending ARB review, alongside the absence of any additionality verification, no leakage treatment, and a project-specific baseline with no documented reassessment. Multiple material corrections to acreage, plot counts, and carbon stock calculations were required in the 2025 verification, and contradictory ERR figures (including negative values) appear across verification documents. The 19.2% buffer pool provides some structural protection, but the overall integrity and claim-safety profile is severely compromised.

Eligibility & market

What can you claim with this credit?

Four checks buyers ask about, from the registry and the Integrity Council (ICVCM).

  • Airlines (CORSIA)

    No CORSIA label on the registry

    Not usable for airlines' CORSIA obligations.

    Source: registry label

  • Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)

    No ICVCM information

    No CCP label and no ICVCM decision found for this project's methodology.

  • Removal or reduction

    Carbon removal

    Takes CO₂ out of the atmosphere — the only type that can neutralise residual emissions in an SBTi net-zero claim.

    Source: registry label

  • Paris Agreement (Article 6)

    No Article 6 authorization

    No corresponding adjustment: the host country can also count this reduction towards its own target.

    Source: registry label

Information only, from public sources. Claim rules (CORSIA, SBTi, EU rules on green claims) change: check them before making a public claim. Since 27 September 2026, EU consumer rules do not allow “climate neutral” product claims based on offsets.
