Audit Analysis
A VCS REDD+ conservation project in Colombia with a verified combined additionality test and a substantial 22% buffer pool, but significant data gaps in verified monitoring, FNRB, and CORSIA/CCP status. The 7-fold reduction in lifetime ERR between the PDD and the validation report, while protective of claim integrity, signals substantial baseline uncertainty. Two open Further Action Requests and the absence of any verified monitoring period data limit confidence in current credit delivery.
Red Flags
- Lifetime ERR reduced from 26,696,589 tCO2e in the PDD (2020) to 3,768,645 tCO2e in the validation report (2024) — a 7-fold discrepancy that, while conservative, indicates major baseline uncertainty
- Leakage deduction dropped from 15% in the PDD to 2% in the validation report; the justification for this 13-percentage-point reduction is not detailed in the extracted record
- Two Further Action Requests (FARs) remain open at the time of the validation report
- No verified monitoring-period ERR data is available in the extracted documents, preventing any assessment of actual credit delivery
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP approval status are not stated in any available document
Credit Vintages
