Verra has launched a public consultation on proposed revisions to VM0003 Methodology for Improved Forest Management through Extension of Rotation Age. The consultation will run until 4 March 2023.
The proposed revisions include the following:
- An extended timeframe during which a project can demonstrate that it meets Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification requirements;
- A corrected formula for quantifying wood products; and
- An updated uncertainty deduction equation that is consistent with the VCS Methodology Requirements (PDF).
These changes are included as in a mark-up version of the methodology document.
Stakeholders can comment on the proposed revisions by completing the comment template and submitting it to methodologies@verra.org by Saturday, 4 March 2023.
