2021 Deferred Harvest Methodology Section: Section 6 Baseline Scenario, Appendix A

Comment: The methodology developer shall demonstrate that sampling results provide an unbiased and reliable estimate of the true mean value (i.e., the sampling does not systematically underestimate or overestimate the true mean value), however no such analysis is provided in the methodology and no requirements to demonstrate unbiasedness in the carbon-atrisk model.

Proposed Change: VCS Rerefence: VCS Methodology Requirements Section 3.4.6 (4)

NCX response: We agree that accounting for uncertainty is very important in any forest carbon project. Our revised methodology propagates and accounts for uncertainty and requires a deduction associated with the uncertainty of carbon stocks in the project and baseline scenarios.
