Meth Panel

Methodologies Panel


The Methodologies Panel (Meth Panel) was established to develop recommendations to the Executive Board on guidelines for methodologies for baselines and monitoring plans and prepare recommendations on submitted proposals for new baseline and monitoring methodologies.

For the Meth Panel workplan 2021, please click here.Update

Chair: Mr. El Hadjii Mbaye Diagne     Vice-Chair:  Ms. Natalie Kushko


Please note that baseline and monitoring methodologies can be submitted at any time. The deadlines mentioned below reflect only the cut-off date for the submissions to be considered at the respective Meth Panel meeting.

For Meth Panel recommendations on proposed new methodologies, please visit the Methodologies section of the site.
For Meth Panel clarifications on approved methodologies, please visit the corresponding section of the site.
For Meth Panel revisions on approved methodologies, please visit the corresponding section of the site.
