Analysis

The Udzungwa Corridor Reforestation project (VCS-3602) is a 30-year reforestation project in Tanzania validated by AENOR in November 2023, but the validation report carries 12 material findings and 13 corrective actions covering baseline quantification, area delineation, leakage justification, and additionality completeness. The 0% leakage deduction is justified only as 'deemed negligible' while the VVB itself flagged an open Forward Action Request on displacement-related leakage monitoring, creating a significant over-crediting risk. The project is registered but remains in its earliest documentation stage with no verification or monitoring data yet available.

Evidence

Eligibility & market

What can you claim with this credit?

Four checks buyers ask about, from the registry and the Integrity Council (ICVCM).

  • Airlines (CORSIA)

    No CORSIA label on the registry

    Not usable for airlines' CORSIA obligations.

    Source: registry label

  • Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)

    No ICVCM information

    No CCP label and no ICVCM decision found for this project's methodology.

  • Removal or reduction

    Carbon removal

    Takes CO₂ out of the atmosphere — the only type that can neutralise residual emissions in an SBTi net-zero claim.

    Source: methodology

  • Paris Agreement (Article 6)

    No Article 6 authorization

    No corresponding adjustment: the host country can also count this reduction towards its own target.

    Source: registry label

Information only, from public sources. Claim rules (CORSIA, SBTi, EU rules on green claims) change: check them before making a public claim. Since 27 September 2026, EU consumer rules do not allow “climate neutral” product claims based on offsets.
