SUMMARY:Overview of VMD0054 Estimating Leakage from the Displacement of Agricultural Activities
DESCRIPTION:Verra will provide an overview of VMD0054 Estimating Leakage from the Displacement of Agricultural Activities\, v1.1. VMD0054 provides a standardized approach for estimating leakage\, which occurs in the form of greenhouse gas emissions outside of a project boundary when project activities displace agricultural or fuelwood production. Version 1.1 constitutes a minor revision to version 1.0 of the module\, and the webinar will focus on highlighting the changes between the two versions.

SUMMARY:Diving into the ABACUS Label: Requirements\, First Lessons Learned\, and Future Enhancements
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an in‑depth session exploring the ABACUS label— what are its requirements\, what has been happening since launch\, and where it’s headed next. Drawing on stakeholder input\, including insights from upstream capacity‑building efforts\, this webinar will provide a detailed view of the label’s structure\, first lessons learned\, and emerging demand signals. \nIn this webinar\, we will: \n\nWalk through the label’s eligibility conditions and the validation and verification requirements using a practical checklist.\nAddress some of the most common questions we’ve received.\nHighlight friction points identified so far in the ABACUS adoption curve\nInvite Amazon to share reflections on demand\, pricing dynamics\, and market forecasting.\nPreview what’s coming next for the ABACUS ecosystem\, including the update of VMD0054 with the cross-commodity leakage option and the forthcoming VM0047 improvements.\n\nThis session is designed to equip participants with a clearer understanding of the ABACUS label and as a look at its adoption and evolution.

SUMMARY:ABACUS Label: Deep Dive
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar Verra will offer an in-depth exploration of the ABACUS label. Launched in 2024\, in partnership with an Amazon-led working group\, the ABACUS label identifies carbon credits that are generated under Verra’s Afforestation\, Reforestation\, and Revegetation (ARR) methodology (VM0047) and that exceed the methodology’s requirements.\nIn this session\, the Verra Team will cover the following:\n– Label eligibility conditions\, and validation and verification requirements\n– Insights from applying the label\n– Next steps for the further development of the label\n– Other commonly asked questions \nThe Verra team will be joined by a representative from Amazon who will share insights on market demand and pricing dynamics.
