Templates

Here you will find templates that project proponents and validation and verification bodies need to use for the documentation of climate projects.

Project concept description

A project concept description (PCD) summarizes a project that aims to reduce or remove greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and issue carbon credits. The PCD is used to show how the project intends to conform to the requirements of the ICR requirement document and eligibility to issue carbon credits.

Project concept description (PCD)

Project design description

A project design description (PDD) outlines the details of a project that aims to reduce or remove greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and issue carbon credits. The PDD is used to demonstrate that the project conforms to the requirements of the ICR requirement document and eligibility to issue carbon credits.

Project design description (PDD)

Monitoring report

A monitoring report (MR) is a document that outlines the results of monitoring and measuring greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions or removals from a specific project. The report is used to verify that the project or program is achieving the expected emission reductions or removals stated in the PDD.

Monitoring report (MR)

Project design description and monitoring report

A project design description and monitoring report is a document that describes project activities and demonstrates that a proposed project conforms to the ICR requirement document and the ISO 14064-2. Further, it provides monitoring and quantification of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission mitigations generated by a specific project for a specific monitoring period.

Letter of attestation

A "Letter of attestation" under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement is a document provided by the host country where project impacts generate Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs).

Letter of attestation

Non-performance event report

A Non-performance report is a document that is used to report instances where a project has failed to meet its validated GHG emissions mitigations.

Non-performance report

Non-permanence event report

A Non-permanence event report refers to a document or notification that reports an event or circumstance where GHG emissions mitigations in form of carbon stocks that were previously issued or claimed are invalidated or "reversed."

Non-permanence event report

Non-permanence risk assessment

To determine non-permanence risk adjustment contribution ICR conducts a risk assessment of non-permanence of projects, utilizing insurance quality underwriting criteria. Risk factors considered include counterparty, country and project specific risk that could result in under-performance and/or reversal, leading to non-permanence.

Non-permanence risk assessment

The risk of non-performance of projects registered with ICR is addressed with an adjustment account held and operated by ICR. Projects issuing ICCs ex-ante, not covered by an insurance for non-performance risk, shall deposit to the adjustment account irrespective of sector and project type adjustment credits subject to risk assessment on non-performance. To determine adjustment account contribution ICR conducts a risk assessment of non-performance of projects, utilizing insurance quality underwriting criteria.
