VM0012, v1.2 quantifies the GHG emission reductions generated by improving forest management and preventing logging in temperate and boreal forests. Specifically, the methodology quantifies GHG emission reductions from Logged to Protected Forest (LtPF) activities, or activities that protect logged or degraded forests from further logging or that protect unlogged forests from future logging.
The proposed revision involves expanding VM0012 to be globally applicable beyond temperate and/boreal forests.
Summary of Development
- The methodology idea note was submitted by New Zealand Forestry Removals Limited (external).
- On March 11, 2026 the development of this revision was archived per the VCS Methodology Development and Review Process (PDF) due to overlap with another potential revision to VM0012.
