Chatham County Forest Carbon Offsets
#9of 345 in United States#3of 59 in City Forest Credits (CFC)
Audit Analysis
A 40-year urban tree preservation project under the City Forest Credits standard with a VVB-verified combined additionality test, a quantified 18.3% leakage deduction, and a 10% buffer pool. ERR figures are internally consistent across all documents, and no material findings or corrective actions were reported. Gaps remain in safeguards documentation (FPIC, grievance mechanism) and CORSIA/CCP eligibility status.
Red Flags
- Contradiction between the verification report (reversals 'not addressed') and the validation report (reversals 'none reported') — the verification report's procedural gap is privileged as the more operationally specific finding, though the 10% buffer pool and 2,116 credits in the Registry Reversal Pool mitigate the risk
- FPIC and grievance mechanism are not stated in any available document, leaving community safeguards partially undocumented
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated, leaving dual-channel double-claiming risk unassessed
