Methodology Element Information
| Methodology element name | REDD Methodology Modules |
| Methodology element category | Methodology, tool/module |
| Description | This REDD Methodology Framework provides guidance for constructing methodologies for REDD project activities compliant with the validation and verification requirements of the VCS. By using this document, a REDD methodology can be
constructed based on a set of pre-defined VCS-approved modules. The resulting methodology will be VCS-approved without the requirement of a methodology validation. Modules and tools are presented that can be used to generate methodologies for activities to reduce emissions from planned and unplanned deforestation and for activities to reduce emissions from forest degradation caused by extraction of wood for fuel. No modules are included for activities to reduce emissions from forest degradation caused by illegal harvesting of trees for timber; such a module may be included in the future. |

| Comment count | The global stakeholder consultation of this methodology has been hosted by the methodology validator; the methodology documents and any stakeholder comments are available here. The validator has hosted the consultation in this case because the consultation began before the VCS Association introduced the requirement for consultation on new methodologies. Global stakeholder consultation for all new methodology elements will be handled via the VCS website. The consultation hosted by the validator for this methodology meets all new requirements for consultation. |
