Analysis

The India Sundarbans Mangrove Restoration project (VCS-1463) is a small-scale (4.81 ha) mangrove restoration project with VVB-confirmed additionality and no reported reversal events, but it carries notable concerns: nine assessment findings, ten NCRs, and six corrective actions from the validation process, a project-specific baseline, and a buffer pool that decreased from 15% to 10% between monitoring periods. The claimed and verified ERR figures match exactly at 399,773 tCO₂e for the 2018–2021 period, and CORSIA eligibility is confirmed, though CCP status is not stated.

Eligibility & market

What can you claim with this credit?

Four checks buyers ask about, from the registry and the Integrity Council (ICVCM).

  • Airlines (CORSIA)

    Stated in the project documents

    The documents claim CORSIA eligibility, but no registry label confirms it: check vintage and authorization.

    Source: project documents (not confirmed by the registry)

  • Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)

    No ICVCM information

    No CCP label and no ICVCM decision found for this project's methodology.

  • Removal or reduction

    Carbon removal

    Takes CO₂ out of the atmosphere — the only type that can neutralise residual emissions in an SBTi net-zero claim.

    Source: methodology

  • Paris Agreement (Article 6)

    No Article 6 authorization

    No corresponding adjustment: the host country can also count this reduction towards its own target.

    Source: registry label

Information only, from public sources. Claim rules (CORSIA, SBTi, EU rules on green claims) change: check them before making a public claim. Since 27 September 2026, EU consumer rules do not allow “climate neutral” product claims based on offsets.
