đź“Ť Province of Misiones, Argentina
Misiones Jurisdictional REDD+ Program
A government-led initiative to protect 1.5 million hectares of the Paraná Atlantic Forest — one of the world’s most biodiverse ecosystems — while generating high-integrity carbon credits with measurable, lasting impact.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The right credits for your sustainability strategy
The province is home to one of the largest remaining jaguar populations in Argentina, giant otters, over 2,000 plant species, and supports more than 100 communities — including 1,500+ Guaranà families — who depend on forest resources.

Program components
How the program works
Provincial REDD+ Strategy
Binding policy reforms targeting the main drivers of deforestation — agricultural expansion and illegal logging — with measurable, reportable outcomes.
Benefit Sharing Mechanism
A transparent, equitable revenue-sharing structure redistributing carbon revenues to forest owners, indigenous communities, and smallholders via Banco Macro.
MRV
System
Independent Monitoring, Reporting and Verification processes ensure the accuracy, credibility, and integrity of all emissions reductions before credits are issued.
Safeguards & Biodiversity
Full compliance with UNFCCC Cancun Safeguards, protecting a global biodiversity hotspot and ensuring rights of indigenous peoples are respected throughout.
Additionality & verification
Rigorous methodology, independently verified
Additionality is demonstrated through newly enacted provincial legislation and documented reductions in deforestation rates — verified by an independent Verra-accredited VVB. Leakage risk is assessed as low, given stable production dynamics and the absence of suitable forest frontiers elsewhere in Argentina.
CORSIA pathway
Structured pathway to aviation-sector eligibility
Misiones VCUs are on a structured pathway to CORSIA Phase 1 and 2 eligibility. Argentina is issuing a Letter of Authorisation designating Misiones VCUs for international mitigation use — enabling aviation-sector buyers to retire credits with full regulatory coverage.
Verra-authorised insurance against double-claim risk is being arranged, providing additional protection for institutional buyers.

Community & social co-benefits
Designed with communities, not just for them
The province is home to one of the largest remaining jaguar populations in Argentina, giant otters, over 2,000 plant species, and supports more than 100 communities — including 1,500+ Guaranà families — who depend on forest resources.
