Please Note: The Offset Network will be shifting to Project Type Focus Initiatives effective fall 2023. This means our resources will be directed toward peer review of specific carbon offset project types for dedicated periods of time. Our first focus initiative is Improved Forest Management (IFM). Campuses interested in IFM project development or protocol work are invited to participate. Click here for more information.
To inquire about becoming a peer verifier for the IFM Focus Initiative, contact mleigh@secondnature.org
Specific updates to the below resources for the IFM initiative are forthcoming.
Validation Report

Verification Report Review Rubric & Guidance

Conflict of Interest Form
Peer Verifiers should fill out the Conflict of Interest (COI) form to assess the potential for a conflict of interest that could affect the legitimacy of peer verification and the resulting carbon offsets.
