Analysis

The Otter Creek IFM project is a 20-year improved forest management project in Florida with a VVB-verified combined additionality test, an 18% buffer pool, and a highly conservative 40% leakage deduction. However, the verification report identified 20 non-conformances (including calculation errors and an expired SFI certificate) that, while resolved, raise concerns about MRV data quality. The project-specific baseline and absence of documented FPIC or grievance mechanisms limit the overall confidence in the credit's robustness.

  • Paris Agreement (Article 6)

    No Article 6 authorization
