NCX response: Projects are additional when the carbon stocks in the project scenario are greater than the carbon stocks expected under the baseline scenario–this is the basis for any carbon project verified against any standard. Because additionality, and therefore, creditable carbon is dependent on an accurate baseline, eligibility is limited to forests that are truly at risk of being harvested in the next year. Deferring that harvest results in additional carbon in the landscape.

Comment: All IFM methodologies are challenged by the setting of baselines from which additionality is measured. But this is ameliorated in 30 – 100 year protocols that use a multi-year time horizon to track and verify forest growth and carbon accrual.
