2021 Deferred Harvest Methodology Section: 6

Comment: The Proposed Methodology fails to ensure additionality because it relies on unspecified, proprietary methods to account for the unique additionality risks associated with short-duration harvest deferrals. See attached comment letter submitted in response to Methodology for Improved Forest Management through Targeted, Short-Term Harvest Deferral (March 2022).

Proposed Change: Require full public disclosure of all baseline scenario models and validation benchmarks approved for use with this methodology. See comment letter.

NCX response: Our revised methodology increases transparency rather than following an expert review process. This includes both detailed documentation of particular models used, as well as sharing benchmarking and performance information for baseline models.
