Carbon Accounting Methodology for Project Activities that Reduce Emissions from Mosaic Deforestation and Degradation

This methodology quantifies the GHG emission reductions and removals generated in mosaic and landscape scale REDD+ projects by allowing such project activities to be combined with improved forest management, afforestation, reforestation and re-vegetation activities, as well as clean cookstoves initiatives. This allows for a more holistic landscape approach to REDD+ activities that integrates efforts to protect forests with programs to improve the livelihoods of rural communities. This methodology received Verified Carbon Standard approval in October 2013.
