The boundary that determines the direct and indirect emissions associated with activities within the inventory.

The length of time over which GHG emission reductions are quantified.

Errors made in the identification of emission sources and the management and calculation of GHG emissions. This arises due to incomplete understanding of climate science or a lack of ability to measure greenhouse gas emissions.

The year in which the emissions occurred. Members must report emissions on an annual basis (i.e., calendar year or fiscal year).

Scenarios that include time series of emissions and concentrations of the full suite of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and aerosols and chemically active gases, as well as land use/land cover (Moss et al., 2008). The word representative signifies that each RCP provides only one of many possible scenarios that would lead to the specific radiative forcing […]

(a) The process by which young trees grow to become the older trees of the future forest. (b) The process of forest replacement or renewal through: (1) natural sprouting or seeding; (2) planting of seedlings; or (3) direct seeding.

Essentially a collateralised loan, a repo is a type of securities financing transaction. It is also known as a sale-and-repurchase agreement in some markets.

Elements (rules, procedures, guidelines) that the activity must conform to in order to proceed through Validation/Verification and ultimately Certification.

O Código Florestal Brasileiro (Lei nº 12.651/2012) estabelece regras claras sobre a Reserva Legal (RL), que é a porção de uma propriedade rural que deve ser preservada. Os percentuais obrigatórios variam conforme o bioma e a localização da propriedade.  Percentuais de Reserva Legal por Bioma | *Localização da Propriedade*  | *Bioma Predominante*  | *Percentual de […]

Climate Action Reserve, a carbon offset program working to ensure integrity, transparency, and financial value in the North American carbon market. It does this by establishing regulatoryquality standards for the development, quantification, and verification of GHG emission reduction projects in North America; issuing carbon offset credits known as Climate Reserve Tonnes (CRTs) generated from such […]
