Audit Analysis
The Fitzgerald Road Preservation Project is a well-structured urban tree preservation credit under the City Forest Credits protocol, with VVB-verified additionality, a quantified 18.3% leakage deduction, a 10% buffer pool, and no reversal events over the first monitoring period. However, the project-specific baseline, several unreported transparency fields (FNRB, usage monitoring, CORSIA/CCP status), and a minor ERR discrepancy between the PDD and validation report temper the overall assessment.
Red Flags
- ERR discrepancy: the PDD (Dec 2022) lists 3,589 tCO₂e while the validation report (Feb 2023) confirms 3,230 tCO₂e — a ~10% reduction that was resolved in favour of the lower, post-verification figure, but the initial over-claim in the PDD warrants attention.
- Baseline is project-specific with no documented reassessment date; while not yet due under CFC rules, the absence of a stated reassessment cadence is a transparency gap.
- FPIC and grievance mechanism are not documented in the extracted record, leaving community safeguards partially unverified.
