Methodology
The “COLCX Methodology for REDD+ Projects” quantifies emissions reductions from avoided deforestation by integrating rigorous carbon accounting with community-led conservation efforts. It ensures environmental integrity through satellite monitoring, sustainable land-use planning, and the active participation of indigenous and local communities.
