This module allows for estimating GHG emissions caused by the activity shifting leakage of planned deforestation carbon projects.

The module was revised on 8 September 2020 by Restore America’s Estuaries and Silvestrum Climate Associates to expand its applicability to activities on tidal wetlands.

This module was assessed and approved as part of VM0007.
