establishes a project-level approach to quantify emission reductions from REDD+ activities in HFLD contexts, with a specific focus on the Asia-Pacific region, where low historical deforestation coexists with increasing, non-linear future risks driven by evolving land-use dynamics.<\/p><p>BCR0014 introduces a forward-looking, driver-based baseline approach that moves beyond purely historical

approach for SOC removals;<\/li><li>Explicit treatment of SOC as a reversible biological carbon pool, subject to permanence and reversal risk management;<\/li><li>Full integration and normative precedence of the BioCarbon Permanence and Reversal Risk Tool, Uncertainty Assessment Tool, and Avoiding Double Counting Tool;<\/li><li>Strengthened requirements for monitoring, uncertainty
