2021 Deferred Harvest Methodology Section: Section 2 Additionality

Comment: The methodology fails to meet the requirements of a performance-based method: Methodologies shall provide a description and analysis of the current distribution of performance within the sector as such performance relates to the applicability of the methodology or each performance benchmark. Methodologies shall discuss and evaluate the trade-off between false negatives and false positives and shall describe objectively and transparently the evidence used (including reference to primary and secondary data sources), experts consulted, assumptions made, and analysis (including numerical analysis) and process undertaken in determining the selected level(s) of the performance benchmark metric (noting that expert consultation is a key part of this process, as set out below). The process of determining the level(s) of the performance benchmark metric shall include and be informed by an expert consultation process, undertaken by the methodology developer

Proposed Change: VCS Reference: VCS Methodology Requirements Section 2.3.7

NCX response: Our credits do take into account the growth that happens over a year based on industry-used and accepted timber growth rates. Final performance for individual properties, and at the project scale, is determined by comparing the stocking expected under the baseline and project scenarios, including growth anticipated under each scenario.
