Crediting forest-related mitigation under international carbon market

The document examines the environmental integrity risks—specifically baseline determination, additionality, permanence, and leakage—and social safeguards associated with using forest-related mitigation credits in international carbon markets like Article 6 and CORSIA. It notes that while transfer-based finance could increase funding for forest protection, it introduces risks such as credit oversupply and volatility in market prices.

• The use of forest-related mitigation credits in international compliance markets involves several risks to environmental integrity, including challenges with baseline determination, additionality, permanence, and leakage, as well as potential oversupply of offset credits.
