Inputs received on double-counting

Background

The Board, at its twenty-second meeting, agreed to open a public call for inputs on possible situations where double-counting is likely to occur, analysing possible options for avoiding the double-counting. The Board further agreed that a technical analysis of the issue of double-counting, based on public inputs, is required in particular with regard to:

- outlining possible situations where double-counting is likely to occur,
- analysing possible options for avoiding the double-counting of emission reductions.

The Board requested the Meth Panel to prepare recommendations to the Board based on the public inputs and the technical analysis.
