Requirements for Baseline Determination in Methodologies

This standard defines how to set a "Crediting Baseline"—the reference level against which emission reductions are measured. The core principle is that baselines shall be set below Business-As-Usual (BAU) levels to encourage increasing ambition over time.

Requirements for Addressing Leakage in Methodologies

"Leakage" refers to unintended greenhouse gas emissions that occur outside the project boundary as a result of the project activity. This standard ensures that projects do not simply shift emissions elsewhere (e.g., protecting a forest in one area causing deforestation in a neighboring area).

Procedure for development, revision, and clarification of methodologies and methodological tools

Soil Organic Carbon Framework Methodology

The methodology presents requirements to quantify changes in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks through the adoption of improved agricultural practices. Activities can achieve avoidance of emissions as well as sequestration of carbon in the soil, both which result in increased SOC content.
