2021 Deferred Harvest Methodology Section: Section 4 Applicability Conditions

Comment: The methodology is for the Extended Rotation Age (ERA), however no applicability conditions prevent the methodology from being applied to RIL, LtPF or LtHP. The methodology should include applicability conditions to ensure only ERA activities are being credited, or the methodology should adhere to all requirements for IFM (such as inclusion of dead wood and wood products). The requirement is: Where a methodology combines AFOLU project categories, the methodology shall adhere to all sets of requirements pertaining to each and every project category covered, either separating activities, or where activities cannot be separated, taking a conservative approach to each requirement.

Proposed Change: VCS Rerefence: VCS Methodology Requirements Section 2.6.2

NCX response: The only activity eligible to receive credits under this methodology is extension of rotation age. The revised version of the methodology will be explicit about which activity types are eligible and which are not.
