Criteria for Baseline Setting and Monitoring
In this section updated information on methodological matters is provided.
Appendix B of the
JI guidelines defines criteria for baseline setting and monitoring.
According to paragraph 3 (d) of the
JI guidelines the Joint Implementation Supervisory Committee (JISC) shall be responsible for the "review and revision of reporting guidelines and criteria for baselines and monitoring in appendix B... , for consideration by the COP/MOP, giving consideration to relevant work of the Executive Board of the CDM, as appropriate".
CMP 1 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
Decision 10/CMP.1).
Methodologies approved by the Executive Board are listed in section "Methodologies" of the UNFCCC CDM website.
Moreover,
Decision 10/CMP.1 adopted by CMP 1 requested the 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".
At its first meeting, the JISC agreed 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 were taken into account in developing a working paper on guidance on criteria for baseline setting and monitoring. At its third meeting, the JISC requested the secretariat to launch a call for public input with regard to this working paper. Taking into account the comments received in response to the call, the JISC, at its twenty-sixth meeting, agreed on
Guidance on criteria for baseline setting and monitoring (version 03) (241 KB).
Moreover, it adopted Provisions for joint implementation small-scale projects (version 03) (154 KB).
(Unless otherwise indicated, the term "JI guidelines" refers to the annex of decision 9/CMP.1.)
