SUMMARY:Overview of VMD0054 Estimating Leakage from the Displacement of Agricultural Activities
DESCRIPTION:Verra will provide an overview of VMD0054 Estimating Leakage from the Displacement of Agricultural Activities\, v1.1. VMD0054 provides a standardized approach for estimating leakage\, which occurs in the form of greenhouse gas emissions outside of a project boundary when project activities displace agricultural or fuelwood production. Version 1.1 constitutes a minor revision to version 1.0 of the module\, and the webinar will focus on highlighting the changes between the two versions.

SUMMARY:Overview of New Digital Soil Mapping Tool (VT0014) in the VCS Program
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, October 16\, at 11:00 am ET\, Verra and Perennial (external) will be hosting a webinar to provide an overview of the new digital soil mapping (DSM) tool in the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Program. \nThe tool\, VT0014 Estimating Organic Carbon Stocks Using Digital Soil Mapping\, v1.0\, was released in August and facilitates the robust and verifiable quantification of greenhouse gas emission reductions and carbon dioxide removals in agricultural land management (ALM) carbon projects. It is based on up-to-date science and novel technologies\, such as remote sensing\, and enables ALM projects to generate high-integrity carbon credits cost-effectively and at scale. \nThe tool is currently approved for use under VM0042 Methodology for Improved Agricultural Land Management and VM0032 Methodology for the Adoption of Sustainable Grasslands through Adjustment of Fire and Grazing.
