VM0045 is applicable to a wide range of improved forest management (IFM) practices and uses a dynamic performance benchmark for additionality and the crediting baseline created from national forest inventories.
The proposed revision introduces a new appendix and expands the geographic scope of the methodology to include Fennoscandian national forest inventories in Finland, Norway, and Sweden. Further, the proposed revision corrects technical errors in Appendix 1.
