About our REDD+ Framework v4

REDD+ projects protect existing forests from human-driven deforestation anddegradation, and generate carbon credits for the emissions avoided compared witha business-as-usual baseline. Two project types sit under the REDD+ umbrella.Avoided Unplanned Deforestation (AUD) projects address localized, often informaldrivers such as subsistence agriculture and illegal logging. Avoided PlannedDeforestation (APD) projects prevent legally permitted, commercial conversion offorest to other land uses, such as plantations or cattle ranching. Version 4.0 of theSylvera REDD+ Rating framework covers both, on mineral and peat soils, issued andpre-issuance. Jurisdictional REDD+ is rated under a separate framework.
