REDD Methodology Modules Launch

Avoided Deforestation Partners

Location: 223, 2nd floor, Collegium Maius

Avoided Deforestation Partners is proud to launch a set of REDD methodology modules. The modules aim to close a gap in knowledge and available tools to estimate and monitor emission reductions from REDD projects. The objective of the initiative is to avoid a repetition of the fragmented development of methodologies under CDM A/R, while ensuring environmental integrity and robustness. The methodology modules will be applicable to a wide range of project and program scenarios. The initiative will seek input and feedback on the work undertaken to date before the modules are submitted for VCS validation.
