Abstract
This thesis investigates the effectiveness of the new REDD+ forest methodology launched by Verra in November 2023 by focusing on its impact on trustworthiness. Through interviews with scientists and companies purchasing such credits, the study highlights the complexities, challenges, and potential enhancements of the new methodology. It explores the need for ongoing refinements, stakeholder engagement, and technological advancements to ensure transparency and credibility in carbon offset projects. Drawing on the organizational trust repair theory, the research emphasizes the importance of rebuilding trust among external stakeholders in the carbon market. By addressing regulatory challenges, promoting accountability, and embracing innovation through the geospatial deforestation risk tool and the jurisdictional approach, the upcoming years will prove whether the new forest methodology is expected to enhance confidence in REDD+ carbon credits verified by Verra amongst external stakeholders.
