Where any VCS methodology is used, the project participant will be required to demonstrate the Sustainable Development contributions or co-benefits of the relevant mitigation activity by submitting to the Joint Committee its verification report under the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standards (CCB Standards), the Sustainable Development Verified Impact Standard (SD VISta) or another standard recognised by VCS for such purpose.
The above list of carbon crediting programmes and methodologies meet the eligibility criteria and domestic laws, regulations and administrative frameworks of both Ghana and Singapore.
Though eligible, the applicability of these methodologies may be further assessed by both Ghana and Singapore when project applications are submitted. Singapore and / or Ghana reserves the right to refuse authorisation of a mitigation activity. The refusal for authorisation may be due to:
The methodology is not aligned with domestic laws, regulations and administrative frameworks of respective countries, when the project application is submitted.
The methodology has been suspended or placed under formal review by the relevant carbon crediting programme, when the project application is submitted.
The methodology is not the latest version.
