Fig. 3: Schematic representation of additionality calculations.

Figure shows how additionality (Principle 3.1) is calculated for improved forest management projects within the Family Forest Carbon Program (FFCP)108,109. Increasing stocks over time represent long term increases in timber and carbon yields predicted under FFCP practices, ensuring sustainability (Principle 2.3). Periodic harvests show that FFCP is committed to maintaining working forests (Principle 1.1). Adapted from the Dynamic Baselines infographic with permission from The Nature Conservancy.
