Impacts
Project Information
In the summer of 2024, a 50-hectare afforestation project was initiated on the land of Þröm in Skagafjörður. The area has been lightly used as grazing land for the past decades and consists of either nutrient-poor heathland or wetland. The dryland vegetation is relatively uniform. The project aims to enhance carbon sequestration, improve biodiversity, and contribute to ecosystem restoration by stabilizing degraded soils and increasing habitat diversity.

Additionality
Level 1 additionality
Baseline additionality. Compared to the baseline scenario the project needs to mitigate climate change. That is the project must implement actions that are additional to what would occur compared to the baseline.
Level 2a additionality
Statutory additionality. The project must implement actions that are beyond requirements stipulated in local legislation or regulations. Projects are statutory additional if their implementation and/or operation is not required by any law, statute, or other regulatory framework, agreements, settlements, or other legally binding mandates requiring implementation and operation or requiring implementation of similar measures that would result in the same mitigations in the host country.
Level 4b additionality
Financial additionality II. The project is financially additional if it faces significant financial limitations that revenues from the sale of carbon credits mitigates or are revenues due to the sale of carbon credits are the only source of revenues. When carbon credit revenues are a precondition for the implementation of the project and/or carbon credit revenues are essential in maintaining the project operations and ongoing financial viability post-implementation, then they are considered to be financial additional II.
