COMMUNITY PARTICIPATIVE FORESTRY/AGROFORESTRY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT IN INDIA

Audit Analysis

A community participative forestry project across 35 plantation blocks in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, verified by Carbon Check (India) with a combined additionality test and an 11% buffer pool. The project shows no material findings and has FPIC, grievance mechanisms, and benefit-sharing in place, but suffers from a notable absence of verified monitoring data, an unaddressed reversal-risk discussion, and a project-specific baseline that limits confidence in the 44,899 tCO₂e lifetime claim.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Reversal events are explicitly 'not addressed' in the extracted record — a material gap for a 20-year forestry crediting period, partially mitigated by the 11% buffer pool
• ⚠No verified ERR or monitoring-period data found in any available document, making it impossible to confirm whether the project is delivering on its claimed 44,899 tCO₂e
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable, which undermines confidence in the extracted facts
• ⚠ERR contradiction: the PDD (Feb 2025) states 44,899 tCO₂e while an undated, unidentified source lists 4,281 tCO₂e — a roughly 10× discrepancy that cannot be fully resolved
