Approved Consolidated Methodology ACM0005 on hold

The Board agreed to put on hold the approved consolidated methodology ACM0005 due to difficulties encountered in demonstrating barriers to the implementation of project activities applying this methodology.

The Board requested the Meth Panel to prepare a revised version of ACM0005 addressing the issue of barrier analysis for consideration of the Board at its fiftieth meeting.
