Assess the quality of carbon credits from a REDD+ project as part of an independent due diligence process.
Assess project terrain steepness
Assess and compare project area steepness to its reference region for validity. REDD+ methodology requires jurisdictional data for baselines.
Check carbon measurements
Checks greenhouse gas emission reductions by comparing project data with remotely sensed carbon estimates for the entire area.
Check forest loss matches reported figures
Estimates forest loss during the monitoring period using two datasets for the entire project area.
Check REDD+ eligibility
Assesses REDD+ eligibility by determining forest coverage over a 10-year baseline, excluding deforested areas and land used for settlements or agriculture.
Polsby-Popper Boundary Test
The Polsby–Popper test evaluates shape compactness (0 = least, 1 = most compact). Low scores may prompt a review but aren’t necessarily evidence of wrongdoing.
Understand deforestation threats
Analyses deforestation around the project boundary 10 years before start, using Landsat images to identify deforestation threats and provide context.
