EWOOD Virtual Assistant
Hi, I'm EVA, EWOOD PGM's assistant. Ask me about our projects, our carbon methodology or investment terms — je peux aussi répondre en français, or in any language you write to me in.
Our monitoring approach is designed to connect field observations, geospatial evidence and project reporting. This information supports management decisions and the independent assessment required for carbon credit issuance.
MRV stands for monitoring, reporting and verification. Monitoring collects information about project activities and outcomes. Reporting brings that information together under the applicable requirements. Independent verification assesses the reported results. Technology can support this process, but it does not replace independent assessment.
The monitoring plan defines the information needed to assess planting progress, survival, growth, land-cover change and carbon outcomes. Social and biodiversity indicators provide further information about the project’s wider objectives.
Field measurements document conditions on the ground. Satellite and other geospatial information can support assessment of boundaries, land cover and disturbance. Drone surveys can provide further site detail where included in the monitoring plan.
Records need clear dates, locations and collection methods. Quality checks help identify missing or inconsistent data and preserve an evidence trail for reporting and review.
The applicable methodology determines how relevant data and assumptions are used to calculate carbon outcomes. Reporting should distinguish measurements from estimates and explain material uncertainty.
Monitoring records and calculations support review by an independent validation and verification body. Registration and credit issuance remain subject to the applicable carbon programme requirements.
Prospective partners can request the monitoring overview and discuss the information available for due diligence. This helps them assess how restoration progress and carbon development are documented.
Update frequency depends on the indicator, field programme and data source. The monitoring plan defines the required collection and reporting schedule. Satellite and field observations should not be described as continuous real-time carbon measurements.
The methods serve different purposes and can complement one another. The applicable methodology and monitoring plan determine which measurements and supporting evidence are required.
An independent validation and verification body assesses the relevant project documentation and reported results under the applicable requirements. EWOOD’s own monitoring does not constitute independent verification.
No. Digital records can help organise and trace information, but a credit must satisfy the applicable programme’s assessment and issuance requirements.
