The methodology was developed by the Amazonas Sustainable Foundation (FAS) and the World Bank’s BioCarbon Fund and can be used to estimate the greenhouse gas emissions from areas where unplanned deforestation is taking place and to quantify the emission reductions that occur when such deforestation is curbed. The new methodology provides a way to address simultaneously both frontier and mosaic deforestation, or any combination of the two. The methodology was assessed and approved for use through the VCS Methodology Approval Process. More information on the VCS Methodology Approval Process can be found here.
All methodology documentation and assessment reports for the new methodology can be found here.
