This document serves as a guide for project developers, coordinating and managing entities (CMEs), and validation and verification bodies (VVBs) on extension of crediting period for forestry and mangrove projects. At present, the crediting period is defined at the time of design certification for forestry projects. However, there is no provision to extend the crediting period, if it is desired so, during the life of the project. The requirements and procedures provides guidance on determining when an extension of crediting period shall be allowed, and the procedure to extend the crediting period.
