Scores cluster high, so position within the catalogue is often more telling than the number alone.

Evaluation

Evaluated by C-NAPSE

Score profile — the dimensions behind the score — how it's computed

Carbon — sequestration / storage, evidenced3/3

VCS registered; 142 million tCO2e over 60 years; ~2.4 million tCO2e/year; first application of Verra blue carbon tidal wetland methodology.

Biodiversity — conservation / improvement, evidenced3/3

CCB certified (Triple Gold per independent reviews); world's largest arid-climate mangrove ecosystem; habitat for Indus River dolphin, marine fisheries, migratory birds.

Water & soil — retention, infiltration, erosion control3/3

Mangrove restoration stabilises 350,000 ha of coastline, filters sediment, reduces coastal flooding and storm surge — documented by IUCN and Sindh Government.

Fire resilience — risk reduction, evidenced0/3

Coastal mangrove/tidal wetland ecosystem; fire is not a management concern.

Governance, certification & transferability3/3

VCS + CCB certified; Sindh Government partnership; IUCN community engagement; 60-year binding commitments; digital MRV by Inverto.
