Analysis

A 100-year avoided-conversion forest project in North Carolina with solid technical safeguards (VVB-verified additionality, 20.9% buffer pool, quantified 3.6% leakage deduction, no reversals) but notable gaps in social safeguards (no FPIC, no grievance mechanism, no documented safeguards). The CAR registry and project-specific baseline introduce moderate transparency and over-crediting risk, while a same-date ERR discrepancy (14,828 vs 17,712) raises data-reliability questions.
