Introduction:
The Article 6.4 Supervisory Body (SBM) is actively working towards the full operationalization of the mechanism. The adoption of the first PACM methodology, A6.4 AMM 001: Flaring or Use of Landfill Gas, marks a pivotal moment in these efforts. This methodology was developed through the top down process. Additional methodologies are expected to be approved next year, largely through the same top down approach.
In parallel, stakeholders have begun submitting PACM methodologies through the bottom up process, in accordance with the procedure on the development, revision, and clarification of methodologies and methodological tools.
• Already over 20 methodologies proposals have been received by the UNFCCC secretariat.
• Five proposed PACM methodologies have passed the Initial Assessment stage and are being considered by the Methodological Expert Panel (MEP).
With a growing number of bottom-up methodology submissions, it becomes increasingly important to support stakeholders in preparing robust, high quality proposals that can move successfully through the assessment and approval process. In particular, targeted guidance and outreach are essential to ensure that submitters are well aware of the procedures, requirements and expectations for bottom-up methodologies submissions.
Objective of the webinar
The webinar is organized with the overarching objective of supporting stakeholders who are keen to submit or re-submit PACM methodologies using the bottom up process. As part of the session, stakeholders will be introduced to the requirements and procedures for proposing a bottom up methodology submission, as outlined in the procedure on the development, revision, and clarification of methodologies and methodological tools. The webinar will also highlight the importance of aligning proposed PACM methodologies with the PACM regulatory framework, including the baseline, additionality, and leakage standards. Importantly, the webinar will demystify the key elements that stakeholders should follow to ensure high quality methodology submissions. In doing so, it will provide practical guidance on the essential Do’s and Don’ts, along with common mistakes and pitfalls to avoid. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to raise clarification questions throughout the session, ensuring they leave with a stronger understanding of the bottom up methodology development process.
