Joint Implementation Track 2 Baseline setting / monitoring

Baseline setting and monitoring

• Basis: Criteria for baseline setting and monitoring in appendix B of JI guidelines

• Guidance agreed on by JISC:

Baseline: on project-specific basis and/or using multi-project emission factor

Project participants allowed, but not obliged, to use approvedCDM baseline and monitoring methodologies

Additionality: various approaches possible

• Provisions for small-scale projects agreed on by JISC:

JI SSC definitions: like for CDM SSC project activities (non-A/R) –revised by CMP 2

Main difference to CDM approach: No limits on bundling
