Analysis

A VCS ALM reforestation and agroforestry project in Nicaragua with a VVB-verified barrier additionality test and a substantial 23% buffer pool, but undermined by four material findings (including overestimation of GHG removals from hurricane damage and a sampling-method deviation), a project-specific baseline, and six inter-document contradictions. The project delivered roughly 64% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the elapsed monitoring period, which is conservative, but the low extraction confidence and multiple null fields limit confidence in the overall data picture.

  • 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.
