Native forest restoration methodology approved for CCP carbon credit label
“Afforestation, Reforestation and Revegetation methodologies offer a critical pathway to support the growth and restoration of forests."
The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) has approved an afforestation, reforestation and revegetation methodology developed by the American Carbon Registry (ACR) as eligible to receive its high-integrity CCP label.
Afforestation, reforestation and revegetation (ARR) carbon credits are based on the planting of trees, either to form new forests as carbon sinks or to restore degraded forest areas. In this case, the ICVCM specifies that ACR’s ARR credits meet the quality criteria of its Core Carbon Principles label as long as they are based on the planting of native species on degraded lands – so-called natural forest establishment or restoration activities.
