What does it cover?

Verra’s methodology quantifies carbon removals from afforestation, reforestation and revegetation (ARR). We assess whether it fits your land and activities, alongside options under Gold Standard and other relevant programmes.

From opportunity to assessment

  1. Assess

    Define eligible land, understand the baseline and compare scenarios.

  2. Design

    Estimate carbon benefits and address additionality, safeguards and project risks.

  3. Monitor

    Plan field measurements, spatial monitoring and traceable reporting.

  4. Prepare for review

    Support validation and verification, including responses to assessment findings.

Monitoring and independent assessment continue through the project lifecycle. Certification, credit issuance and any labels depend on meeting the applicable requirements; higher prices are not guaranteed.
