Additionality test consultation

The Woodland Carbon Code team commissioned EY to run an independent consultation on the financial additionality test that projects need to pass to be eligible for the code.  

Additionality is an important principal for environmental markets as buyers want to know their purchase is making a difference.

The consultation took place between 17 October and 29 November 2024 and was promoted through webinars, newsletter and website articles, direct email and social media.

Anyone with an interest was invited to read the consultation paper and submit a response through a digital survey.

We received 46 formal responses from a range of individuals and organisations as well as additional feedback through other channels.

You can view a summary of responses and the full list of responses in the documents section. 

Thank you to everyone who submitted a response. Your insights are helping us to review the additionality test and shape the future of the code.

We have analysed the results and incorporated changes into the draft of Version 3 of the code.
