Avoided Deforestation Offsetting is a carbon offsetting mechanism that belongs to the category of land-use-based mitigation projects, distinguished by its focus on quantifying and crediting greenhouse gas emissions reductions achieved through the prevention of deforestation in forested areas that would otherwise have been cleared or degraded.
