Section 2

    Project Design

    This section presents the foundational framework for developing and implementing Carbontribe's forest projects, ensuring alignment with our common methodology and adherence to best practices. Chapter 3 will thereafter focus on the two first steps of the Carbontribe project cycle: conceptualization and onboarding as well as feasibility and design.

    Initial phases of the project cycle A repeating six-phase project cycle centred on Carbontribe, running clockwise: 1. Conceptualization and Onboarding: Initial phase, identifying objectives, scope and impact; 2. Feasibility and Design: Detailed project planning, creating implementation plan, identifying boundaries and baseline; 3. Implementation and Execution: Carrying out planned activities on-site and quantifying sequestration; 4. Ongoing Monitoring: Ongoing and continuous improvement and coaching and support; 5. Monitoring and Reporting: Continuously tracking project validation and progress, sequestration levels, impact and changes; 6. Issuance of Carbon Credit: Validated carbon credits are issued and are available for trade; then the cycle continues back to Conceptualization and Onboarding.

    The initial section of this chapter focuses on defining the project's scope and objectives, while the latter part provides a detailed overview of project planning, including the identification of project boundaries and baseline estimation.

    To ensure a structured onboarding process, potential project participants will complete a comprehensive form addressing each stage of the process described below (form available in a separate document). This step-by-step engagement facilitates alignment with our methodology, ensures adherence to established best practices, and sets the foundation for achieving the project's objectives effectively.
