SIVIRÚ-USARAGÁ-PIZARRO-PILIZÁ (SUPP) REDD+ Project

Audit Analysis
The SUPP REDD+ project in Colombia has confirmed additionality, a 10% buffer pool, no reversal events, and a quantified 20% leakage deduction, but is burdened by an unusually high volume of nonconformities (31 VCS NCRs, 10 CCB NCRs), risks from illegal armed groups and ongoing disputes, and an unresolved question about participation in other GHG programs. The project-specific baseline and missing FNRB details limit confidence in the claimed reductions.
Red Flags
- 31 VCS nonconformity reports and 10 CCB NCRs identified during verification (all closed, but the volume signals systemic MRV weaknesses)
- Material finding notes 'unclear impact for participation under other GHG programs,' raising a double-claiming risk that was not resolved
- Risks associated with the presence of illegal armed groups and ongoing disputes in the project area
- The project did not undergo a CCB verification public comment period prior to verification
- 4 Forward Action Requests remain open for future verification cycles, including one on Maximum Mitigation Potential calculations
