Technical Note on Steps in Baseline Quantification for ARR Carbon Finance Projects using Remote Sensing and GIS

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This technical note outlines a systematic approach to baseline quantification for ARR (Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation) carbon finance projects using advanced remote sensing (RS) and GIS methodologies. This approach particularly addresses India's fragmented landscapes, aiming to integrate small and marginal farmers into carbon finance markets, thus enhancing agroforestry potential and providing additional income generation. The challenges in meeting common practice criteria and additionality, as per VERRA/Gold Standard methodologies, are also discussed, offering recommendations to improve inclusivity and applicability.
