Skógarkolefni has been updated to version 2.2 following the publication of guidance on survey methods for Skógarkolefni projects and revisions to Section 2.5, which deals with project monitoring. A revised Project Design Document (PDD) template has also been published to reflect changes introduced with Skógarkolefni 2.2. The principal change in version 2.2 is that the second project survey must now be carried out no later than ten years from the project start date, rather than fifteen years as previously required.
