Methodology Idea Note
M0239
14. Agriculture, Forestry, Land Use
VM0047, v1.0 currently applies to afforestation, reforestation and revegetation project activities, resulting in removals of GHG from the atmosphere, and is applicable to all afforestation, reforestation, and revegetation activities that do not take place on organic soils or wetlands and result in an intentional manipulation of the water table, or that do not take place in tidal wetlands.
The proposed revision to VM0047 aims to expand applicability by broadening the project boundary to account for emission sources from drained organic soil.
