Audit Analysis

The Juruena River REDD+ Project has VVB-verified additionality and a 10% buffer pool, but the verification report identifies serious corrective actions including a mandatory methodology transition, monitoring non-compliance, and calculation errors affecting emission reduction quantities. The project is CORSIA-eligible with an unknown CCP status, creating dual-channel risk, and several key data fields contain contradictions between documents. Overall, the project shows moderate integrity with notable data reliability concerns.

Red Flags

  • Five corrective actions required, including mandatory transition from VM0015 to VM0048 and revalidation of the baseline for 6 years
  • Verification report notes 'mistakes in applying assumptions, data or calculations of emission reductions which will impact the quantity of emission reductions'
  • 0.84 ha of unplanned deforestation occurred during the monitoring period
  • CORSIA-eligible with CCP status not stated, creating potential dual-channel crediting risk
  • Contradictions in FPIC status (true vs false) within the same verification report
