Cercarbono introduces integrated methodology for carbon removals

Cercarbono, a Colombia-based environmental project certification standard, unveiled its new integrated methodology for carbon removals focusing on forestry and agriculture. Launched in March 2025, the CM-LU-002 methodology combines reforestation, forest restoration, and woody agricultural crops, with an emphasis on native species and advanced mapping for improved carbon accuracy. The approach aims to increase participation in the voluntary carbon market, empowering Indigenous Peoples and small landowners with clear credit ownership and tailored solutions.
