• Key outputs and points to consider: Carbon Accounting contd. • Based on our definition of the project and baseline scenarios, combined with our assessment of the methodologies emerging from the Voluntary Carbon Standard double approval process, compatible methodologies were found to be: ‣Methodology for Estimating Reductions of GHG Emissions from Mosaic Deforestation Developed by: World Bank BioCarbon Fund ‣Methodology for Estimating Reductions of GHG Emissions from Frontier Deforestation Developed by: Amazonas Sustainable Foundation • These methodologies were selected as they met the following key selection criteria: ‣Allow assessment of both mosaic and frontier deforestation representative of deforestation trends in Aceh ‣Are in the final stages of the first validation phase and are likely achieve double approval within the next 3- 6 months ‣ Accept a forward-looking baseline approach to developing the business as usual baseline map • The business as usual reference methodology selected is the Terrestrial Carbon Groups Three Filters approach. This meets the key criteria – forward-looking, spatially explicit, regional and national estimates, compatible in Indonesia, allows greatest flexibility in data requirements, and appears to be transparent in its application. • Some destructive sampling of aboveground biomass pools is required. • Currently there are limitations in methodologies for projects that avoid forest degradation • A strong focus will be placed on the MRV system.

Social and Community Assessment Updates • Local Acehnese company Mitra Koalisi have conducted a comprehensive Social and Community Assessment. The intention of the study is to fulfill the requirements of the CCB standards and to guide project decisions concerning community consultation, benefit-sharing and grievance mechanisms • Key outputs and points to consider: • 50 villages have been sampled across the Leuser Ecosystem. • Essential assessment areas: 1. Social Baseline: What are current levels of wellbeing 2. Impact from the Project: How will the project affect the wellbeing of the affected communities 3. Impact from the Community: How will current community activities affect the success of the carbon project – i.e. What are the local drivers of land use and forest change 4. Community Expectations: what project interventions do local communities want and what are most likely to reduce deforestation pressures • These essential elements will be central to formulating the Leuser Public Private REDD Project in line with international requirements, meeting Indonesian government guidance and regulation and partnering with the Government of Aceh and others.
