- Abstract
The protocol was developed for submission into Second Nature's Peer Review Offset Network by the Campus Forest Carbon Project. As of October 2022, the protocol is still under review. This offset protocol is a modified version of a previously adopted protocol created by the California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resources Board as a Compliance Offset Protocol for U.S. Forest Projects. The Campus Forest Carbon Project modified this protocol using NASA Carbon Monitoring System science to integrate a high-resolution remote sensing and modeling based quantification methodology into the voluntary carbon offset market for forest projects. Accompanying the protocol is a background and development document that outlines the specific changes to the protocol and the context surrounding its development.
