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:Webinar: VM0042\, v3.0 Public Consultation
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, the Verra team will provide an overview of the public consultation on a major revision to VM0042 Improved Agricultural Land Management\, v2.2 and VMD0053 Model Calibration\, Validation\, and Uncertainty Guidance for Biogeochemical Modeling for Agricultural Land Management Projects\, v2.1 in the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Program. The consultation will also include a template for model calibration and validation reports and a Soil Sampling and Analysis (SSA) Handbook. \nThe updated versions of VM0042 and VMD0053 aim to maximize consistency with other VCS methodologies. They would also bring VM0042 into alignment with version 5 of the VCS Program and increase the methodology’s flexibility by making it adaptable to agronomic reality across global geographies.
