Avoiding Unplanned Conversion (AUC)
Definition:
Avoiding Unplanned Conversion (AUC) is an avoided conversion of grasslands and shrublands methodology category in the Verified Carbon Standard. This category includes activities that reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by stopping unplanned conversion of grasslands or shrublands. Unplanned conversion can occur as a result of socio-economic forces that promote alternative uses of native grasslands or shrublands and the inability of institutions to control these activities. Poor law enforcement and weak or lacking property rights can result in piecemeal land conversion. Unplanned conversion activities may include, inter alia, subsistence agriculture, unsanctioned commercial agriculture and collection of biomass fuel where such collection would result in land conversion.
