Assessment

Document-based rating

3.5/10

Low rating (3.5 to 4.9)

Evidence coverage: medium

How solid the credit is, as far as the registry's public documents show. Additionality and quantification start from a public grade; permanence starts at 5.0, the neutral point, where none applies, and claim safety always does.

Reforestation Sierra Piura (Peru) plants trees on land that is not forest (afforestation / reforestation, agroforestry allowed) and is credited for the CO2 the growing trees remove (Reforestation with Pinus patula, Pinus radiate, Alnus jorullensis, and Polylepis incana) under GS4GG AR methodology v.1.1; registry status Registered (GS), 1,021 credits issued (vintages 2011–2018). The documents name GFA Certification GmbH as validation / verification body. A verification is recorded (registry or documents). The verification report of 2019-05-27 states a negative quantity for 2010-01-01 – 2018-12-31: -161 tCO2e, net emissions for that period as it writes it; the registry issued 1,021 credits for vintages 2011–2018 of that period.
