CLIMATE SECTIONCL1. Net Positive Climate ImpactsCL1.1. Estimate of Net Changes in Carbon Stocks Dueto Project ActivitiesEstimate the net change in carbon stocks due to the project activitiesusing the methods of calculation, formulae and default values of theIPCC 2006 GL for AFOLU or using a more robust and detailedmethodology. The net change is equal to carbon stock changes with theproject minus carbon stock changes without the project (the latterhaving been estimated in G2). This estimate must be based on clearlydefined and defendable assumptions about how project activities willalter GHG emissions or carbon stocks over the duration of the project orthe project GHG accounting period.The following methodology has been used to estimate netchanges in carbon stocks: Summarize emissions from planned deforestationcomponent in final Baseline Scenario (Section G2.3) Summarize emissions from unplanned deforestationcomponent in final Baseline Scenario (if necessary)(Section G2.3). Elements of this component:o Baseline deforestation rate (%/yr) – requires theidentification of a reference region, leakage belt,and accounting area.o Baseline deforestation location – requiresidentification of drivers and modeling of land-­‐usechangeo Methodology for calculating changes in carbonstocksEstimate carbon stock changes under ‘with project’scenarioCalculate net change in carbon stocks due to projectactivitiesFinal Net Change in Carbon Stocks Due to projectActivities (before Non-­‐Permanance buffer):96,376,455 t CO2e208
