Description

This module provides a standardized, transparent, and evidence-based framework for assessing, quantifying, and managing leakage risks associated with conservation projects under the SOCIALCARBON Standard. It is designed to support project proponents in identifying the drivers, agents, and market forces that may cause emissions to shift outside the Project Area, and to apply consistent procedures to evaluate and account for leakage across multiple potential pathways.
