Forestry Pack V 3.0 [ 360p 2025 ]

: Preventing the conversion of forestland to non-forest uses. 2. Carbon Sequestration and Climate Impact

A "Forest Project" under this version is defined as a planned set of activities designed to increase CO2 removals or prevent emissions by conserving forest carbon stocks.

Modern forestry management must address several high-impact stressors: Forest, Land and Agriculture (FLAG) Forestry Pack v 3.0

: Activities that increase carbon stocks on land already designated as forest.

: A 10% annual reduction in deforestation is required to stay on track for 2030 global climate goals. : Preventing the conversion of forestland to non-forest uses

: Restoring tree cover on land that has been historically under-stocked.

: Deforestation and degradation currently drive up to 20% of global anthropogenic emissions. : Deforestation and degradation currently drive up to

The primary goal of this protocol is to provide a rigorous framework for quantifying the net climate benefits of activities that sequester carbon on forestland. It serves as a guide for project eligibility, calculation methods for greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions, and monitoring requirements.
