Description.

Project activities utilizing the SCM0009 Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation methodology are required to employ this module for leakage estimation. This module takes into consideration leakage arising from the displacement of agricultural activities (including grazing) and fuelwood collection activities occurring before the project initiation. It encompasses leakage attributed to the baseline agent (activity-shifting leakage) and other entities (market leakage).

 The module assesses leakage by considering two key factors:

·        Decrease in the production of agricultural commodities or fuelwood within the project area.

·        Impact of leakage mitigation activities aimed at boosting production beyond the project area.

 The module calculates the replacement of net production in the project area within the market, the extent of new forest lands brought into production outside the project area, and the associated emissions from carbon stock.
