Analysis

A Minnesota improved-forest-management project under ACR with a strong conservation design: VVB-confirmed additionality, a 20% buffer pool, a very conservative 40% leakage deduction, and no reversal events. The project delivered roughly 199% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the 2019–2020 monitoring period, indicating the ex-ante estimate was conservative. However, the project-specific baseline, a large number of (resolved) material findings, and gaps in safeguards documentation temper the overall assessment.
