Richland County Forest Carbon Offsets
#68of 345 in United States#34of 59 in City Forest Credits (CFC)
Audit Analysis
A 94-acre urban tree preservation project in Ohio under the City Forest Credits standard, with a 40-year crediting period and a 10% reversal pool. Additionality is confirmed by the VVB via a combined test, and no reversal events were reported during the first monitoring period. Key gaps include a project-specific baseline, an unspecified leakage deduction percentage, and the absence of FPIC and grievance mechanism documentation.
Red Flags
- Leakage is described as 'quantified' in the verification report but no specific deduction percentage is stated in the extracted record, making it impossible to confirm the magnitude of the adjustment.
- The baseline method is project-specific rather than jurisdictional or standardised, and the date of the last baseline reassessment is not stated in any available document.
- FPIC and grievance mechanism details are not found in the extracted record despite safeguards being broadly mentioned, leaving community engagement and rights protections unverified.
