Focus
NbS Integration into national CORSIA strategies
-
Map priority ecosystems (e.g., mangroves, forests, peatlands) for NbS interventions using satellite data and field surveys.
-
Quantify carbon sequestration potential using methodologies like Verra’s Jurisdictional and Nested REDD+ (JNR) framework.
-
-
Screen NbS projects for compliance with ICAO’s Emissions Unit Eligibility Criteria, emphasizing jurisdictional REDD+ programs eligible under CORSIA’s 2016–2020 crediting window.
-
Conduct lifecycle analyses (LCAs) to validate emission reductions against CORSIA’s 10-year eligibility rule.
-
-
Deploy remote sensing and community-led monitoring for real-time data on forest cover and biodiversity metrics.
-
Partner with accredited bodies like TÜV SÜD for third-party verification of carbon offsets.
-
Key Milestones - Short, Mid and Long-term
2025 - 2027
Project Pipeline Development
​Finalize 3–5 NbS pilot sites (e.g., mangrove restoration in the Visayas, agroforestry in Mindanao) compliant with CORSIA’s crediting window eligibility
​
Strengthen MRV
Participate in ensuring that MRV systems are in place and compliant
2028 - 2030
Carbon Credit Certification
​Certify 8–10 NbS projects under CORSIA-approved (or CAAP-endorsed Philippine) standards (e.g., ART/TREES), targeting 2 million tonnes CO2e/year in offsets
2031 - 2050
Emission Reduction Targets
​Deliver 15–20 million tonnes CO2e/year in aviation offsets, covering 25% of Philippine carriers’ CORSIA obligations16.
