Proyecto REDD+ Zona Isana y Surubi
#27of 99 in REDD+#21of 124 in Colombia#21of 99 in CerCarbono (CC)
Audit Analysis
A Colombian REDD+ avoidance project with a jurisdictional baseline, VVB-verified barrier additionality test, and a 5% buffer pool, but undermined by seven material findings (three corrective action requests), unresolved reversal-risk language, and contradictory figures across documents for the buffer rate and ERR values. The project delivered roughly 89% of its pro-rata lifetime expectation for the 2021–2022 monitoring period, indicating conservative crediting, yet several key MRV parameters (FNRB, usage rate, leakage deduction percentage) remain unstated.
Red Flags
- Seven material findings in the 2025 verification report, including three Corrective Action Requests covering benefit-sharing clarity, deforestation-cause analysis, and prior-consultation documentation
- Reversal events described as 'not addressed' in the February 2025 verification report, despite the project being a 20-year REDD+ avoidance scheme
- Buffer pool percentage contradicts between the December 2024 verification report (11.2%) and the February 2025 verification report (5.0%)
- Claimed and verified ERR figures appear swapped between the verification report and the issuance document (493,667 vs 438,376 tCO2e)
