To register the proposed project activity

The Executive Board shall bear the costs for reviewing a proposed project activity.

A large project activity or any of its components shall follow the regular modalities and procedures for afforestation and reforestation project activities under the CDM.

Project participants shall address the concerns and supply relevant additional information Provide a verification report to the project participants, the Parties involved and the Executive Board.

Notification to the project participants shall include either Confirmation of validation and date of submission of the validation report to the Executive Board or An explanation of reasons for non acceptance if the project activity, as documented, is judged not to fulfil the requirements for validation.

Project participants and the DOE which validated the proposed project activity shall be notified of the decision by the Executive Board.

In accordance with paragraph 41, the Board shall communicate the decision to the project participants, the DOE that validated the proposed project activity and the public.

Project participants may use either the default factors or project specific methods, provided they reflect good practice appropriate to the type of the project activity.

If the designated operational entity determines that the project activity intends to use a new baseline or monitoring methodology, as referred to in paragraph 37 (e) (ii) above, it shall, prior to a submission for registration of this project activity, forward the proposed methodology, together with the draft project design document, including a description of the project and identification of the project participants, to the Executive Board for review.

The designated operational entity selected by project participants to validate a project activity, being under a contractual arrangement with them, shall review the project design document and any supporting documentation to confirm that the following requirements have been met

The project boundary shall encompass significant anthropogenic emissions by sources of greenhouse gases under the control of the project participants that are reasonably attributable to the small scale CDM project activity, in accordance with provisions of appendix B for the relevant project category.

Standardization should be conservative in order to prevent any overestimation of reductions in anthropogenic emissions Determination of project boundaries including accounting for all greenhouse gases that should be included as a part of the baseline, and monitoring.

Is determined by the designated operational entity as appropriate to the circumstances of the proposed project activity and has been successfully applied elsewhere Reflects good monitoring practice appropriate to the type of project activity.

The crediting period shall begin at the start of the small scale afforestation or reforestation project activity under the CDM.

A small scale afforestation or reforestation project activity under the CDM shall be designed in such a manner as to minimize leakage.

Indicative simplified baseline and monitoring methodologies for selected types of small scale afforestation and reforestation project activities under the clean development mechanism

If significant changes in the carbon stocks within the project boundary would be expected to occur in the absence of the small scale afforestation or reforestation project activity, project participants shall use simplified baseline methodologies to be developed by the Executive Board.

A CDM project activity is additional if anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases by sources are reduced below those that would have occurred in the absence of the registered CDM project activity.

Once approved by the Executive Board it shall make the approved methodology publicly available along with any relevant guidance and the designated operational entity may proceed with the validation of the project activity and submit the project design document for registration.

The project boundary shall encompass all anthropogenic emissions by sources of greenhouse gases under the control of the project participants that are significant and reasonably attributable to the CDM project activity.

The monitoring plan for a small scale CDM project activity may use the monitoring methodology specified in appendix B for the relevant project category if the designated operational entity determines at validation that the monitoring methodology reflects good monitoring practice appropriate to the circumstances of the project activity.

There is a profound difference between not supporting an undertaking deemed essential by the US and working actively to block it.

A project activity shall be described in detail in a project design document, taking into account the provisions for small scale afforestation and reforestation project activities under the CDM as set out in the present annex, in particular in its section C on validation and registration and in its section D on monitoring.

To use simplified modalities and procedures for small scale CDM project activities, a proposed project activity shall

The designated operational entity selected by project participants to validate a project activity, being under a contractual arrangement with them, shall review the project design document and any supporting documentation to confirm that the following requirements have been met

To use simplified modalities and procedures for small scale afforestation and reforestation CDM project activities, a proposed project activity shall

The baseline shall be defined in a way that CERs cannot be earned for decreases in activity levels outside the project activity or due to force majeure.

Where the certification report has not been provided in accordance with paragraph 33 above, the lCERs issued for the project activity shall be replaced.

Activity

The DOE selected by project participants to validate a proposed small scale afforestation or reforestation project activity under the CDM, being under a contractual arrangement with them, shall review the project design document and any supporting documentation to confirm that the following requirements have been met

The baseline for a CDM project activity is the scenario that reasonably represents the anthropogenic emissions by sources of greenhouse gases that would occur in the absence of the proposed project activity.

Analysis Activity

The DOE selected by project participants to validate a proposed afforestation or reforestation project activity under the CDM, being under a contractual arrangement with them, shall review the project design document and any supporting documentation to confirm that the following requirements have been met

The designated operational entity shall, based on its verification report, certify in writing that, during the specified time period, the project activity achieved the verified amount of reductions in anthropogenic emissions by sources of greenhouse gases that would not have occurred in the absence of the CDM project activity.

The registration by the Executive Board shall be deemed final eight weeks after the date of receipt by the Executive Board of the request for registration, unless a Party involved in the project activity or at least three members of the Executive Board request a review of the proposed CDM project activity.

Leakage is defined as the net change of anthropogenic emissions by sources of greenhouse gases which occurs outside the project boundary, and which is measurable and attributable to the CDM project activity.

Leakage is defined as the net change of anthropogenic emissions by sources of greenhouse gases which occurs outside the project boundary, and which is measurable and attributable to the CDM project activity.

Monitoring Team activity

The continuation of awareness and training activities.

Monitoring Team activity

Demand side, as well as supply side, projects shall be taken into consideration, provided that a project activity results in a reduction of maximum 15 gigawatt hours (GWh), as illustrated by figure 1.

Submit to the Executive Board, if it determines the proposed project activity to be valid, a request for registration in the form of a validation report including the project design document, the written approval of the host Party as referred to in paragraph 23 (a) above, and an explanation of how it has taken due account of comments received Make this validation report publicly available upon transmission to the Executive Board.

(c) Any plan to change an activity which may transform it into one falling within the scope of the present articles.

The baseline for a CDM project activity is the scenario that reasonably represents the anthropogenic emissions by sources of greenhouse gases that would occur in the absence of the proposed project activity.

Calculate the proportion of lCERs from the project activity to be replaced by dividing the amount specified in the request for replacement by the amount identified in paragraph 49 (a) above Notify each Party concerned of the requirement to replace a quantity of lCERs equal to the proportion, as calculated in paragraph 49 (c) above, of the lCERs identified in paragraph 49 (a) above of that Party.
