The Guardian published an article earlier this year criticizing REDD+ projects, citing a study that claimed the initiatives generated significantly fewer carbon credits than reported. However, a group of leading international scientists have questioned the conclusions of the REDD+ study and publicly condemned its findings. Scientists including Ed Mitchard, the company's chief scientist for satellite data Space Intelligence, in collaboration with researchers from institutes such as Edinburgh and the University of California and MIT, have raised concerns about the methodology and data used in the study, suggesting that the conclusions may be inaccurate or misleading. NASA While their latest paper has yet to be peer-reviewed, they say they have discovered several errors in the original study and are calling for it to be revised or even retracted.
