Audit Analysis

The Davíðsstaðir forest carbon project in Iceland claims 57,444 tonnes of sequestration under the Icelandic Forest Carbon Code, but the available record consists of a single project design document with no monitoring data, no verified emissions reductions, and no documented additionality test, baseline method, or leakage treatment. The project cannot be meaningfully assessed for integrity or claim safety given the depth of evidence gaps.

Red Flags

  • No additionality test type or VVB verification of additionality is documented in the available PDD
  • No baseline method or baseline reassessment date is stated, making the 57,444 t claim unverifiable
  • No leakage deduction or justification is provided for a forest sequestration project where displacement is a known risk
  • No buffer pool percentage or quantified permanence mechanism is documented; only a general statement about counteracting stock reductions
  • No monitoring report or verified ERR figure is available to validate the claimed 57,444 t
  • Leakage not addressed in project documentation
  • Buffer pool size not disclosed in available documents
