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.
