Call for public input on guidance on criteria for baseline setting and monitoring

Background

Appendix B of the JI guidelines lists criteria for baseline setting and monitoring.

Decision 10/CMP.1 adopted by COP/MOP 1 requests the Joint Implementation Supervisory Committee (JISC) in paragraph 2 (f) to "develop, as soon as possible, guidance with regard to appendix B of the guidelines for the implementation of Article 6 of the Kyoto Protocol, including provisions for small-scale projects as defined in paragraph 6 (c) of decision 17/CP.7, as appropriate". COP/MOP 1 also decided that methodologies "for baselines and monitoring, including methodologies for small-scale project activities, approved by the Executive Board of the clean development mechanism, may be applied by project participants under joint implementation, as appropriate" (paragraph 4 (a) of the decision 10/CMP.1).

The JISC, at its first meeting, requested the secretariat to open a call for public input with regard to guidance on criteria for baseline setting and monitoring. The comments received in response to this call have been taken into account in developing a working paper on guidance on criteria for baseline setting and monitoring. The various parts of this working paper are still being discussed in-depth by the JISC.

At its third meeting, the JISC requested the secretariat to launch a call for public input with regard to this working paper. The comments to be received in response to this call will be taken into account in preparing the final version of the document on which the JISC intends to agree at its fourth meeting.
