Overview

The Reforestation and Afforestation 2.0 method 2015 will sunset on 1 October 2025. Once the method sunsets, no new projects will be able to be registered unless the method is re-made.

At the request of the Assistant Minister for Climate Change and Energy, the Emissions Reduction Assurance Committee (the ERAC) is undertaking a review of the merits of remaking the Reforestation and Afforestation 2.0 method 2015. As part of this review the ERAC is seeking the views of stakeholders on the possible remaking of the method.

The ERAC’s advice will inform a decision by the Assistant Minister on whether to remake the method.
