Morgantown Monongalia County West Virginia Forest Carbon Offsets
#10of 345 in United States#4of 59 in City Forest Credits (CFC)
Audit Analysis
A recently validated urban tree-preservation project under the CFC standard with a verified combined additionality test, a 10% buffer pool, and a substantial 18.3% quantified leakage deduction. The main weaknesses are a project-specific (non-standardised) baseline, the absence of documented FPIC and grievance-mechanism details, and the lack of any stated CORSIA or CCP eligibility position. Overall a moderately strong project with clear room to tighten safeguards documentation and baseline robustness.
Red Flags
- Baseline is project-specific rather than a standardised or jurisdictional method, increasing sensitivity to assumptions
- FPIC and grievance-mechanism details are not stated in any available document despite safeguards being mentioned
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP approval status are both unstated, leaving dual-channel risk unaddressed
