Avoiding Planned Deforestation of Undrained Peat Swamp Forests

This methodology quantifies the GHG emission reductions and removals generated by activities that avoid planned deforestation and forest degradation of peat swamp forest. The methodology also quantifies the GHG emission reductions and removals from activities that avoid peat conversion and considers the GHG benefit from assisted natural regeneration.  Some of the main methodological aspects of the methodology are:

This methodology is applicable to tropical forests on peat swamp that are designated for production purposes.
