City Of Atlanta Carbon Credit Program 2024
#63of 345 in United States#29of 59 in City Forest Credits (CFC)
Audit Analysis
The City of Atlanta Carbon Credit Program is a 40-year urban tree preservation project under the City Forest Credits standard, with a confirmed combined additionality test, a 10% buffer pool, and no material findings. However, the project-specific baseline, an unquantified leakage deduction in the available record, and a minor contradiction on reversal-event reporting between the verification and validation reports introduce moderate uncertainty. Several transparency elements (FNRB, usage monitoring, CORSIA/CCP status) are not stated in the extracted documents.
Red Flags
- Contradiction between the verification report (reversal events 'not addressed') and the validation report ('none reported') on the status of reversal events, though a 10% buffer pool and 2,278 credits in the Reversal Pool indicate the mechanism is operational
- Leakage is described as 'quantified' in the justification but the actual deduction percentage is not stated in any available document
- Baseline is project-specific with no recorded reassessment date, and the CFC standard's reassessment cadence is not clearly documented in the extracted record
