VT0007, Unplanned Deforestation Allocation (UDef-A), v1.0

This tool will provide a standardized approach for:

1. Constructing benchmark jurisdictional maps of unplanned deforestation risk;
2. Statistically comparing the benchmark map with alternative jurisdictional maps of unplanned deforestation risk to discern the best risk map for the jurisdiction; and
3. Using the selected risk map to proportionally allocate fractions of either the jurisdictional baseline activity data (in the context of VMD0055) or the jurisdictional Forest Reference Emissions Level (in the context of the VCS Jurisdictional and Nested REDD+ framework) to projects or programs to be implemented within the jurisdiction.
