Abstract

The Forest Offset Protocol lays out the requirements and methods for quantifying the net GHG emission and removals resulting from voluntary project activities undertaken on forested land. The ARB’s compliance offset protocol was built off of the Climate Action Reserve’s Forest Project Protocol Version 3.2 (CAR 2010). The Forest Offset Protocol covers three types of project activities, the carbon pools included in each project type, and requirements for project eligibility, monitoring, and commitments.
