Avoided Deforestation Carbon Credits
Avoided deforestation projects (often called REDD+) protect standing forests that face a demonstrable threat of clearing, preserving the carbon already stored in trees and soils while safeguarding biodiversity and communities.
These are avoidance credits rather than removals: they prevent emissions instead of drawing down past ones. Robust baselines, leakage controls, and community involvement separate high-integrity projects from the rest.
