Methodology Element Information

Methodology element name Baseline and monitoring methodology for conservation projects that avoid planned land use conversion in peat swamp forests
Methodology element category Methodology
Description

The methodology adopts baseline approach 22(c) – changes in carbon stocks in the pools within the project boundary from the most likely land use at the time the project starts, taking into account national, sectoral, and local policies influencing the land use prior to the start of the project activity; the scope of project alternatives relative to the baseline; and barriers to implement the avoided deforestation project activity.

This methodology anticipates several possible baseline scenarios and uses the Combined tool to identify the baseline scenario and demonstrate additionality in A/R CDM Project Activities.
