The Methodological Framework is a set of 37 criteria and related indicators (C&I), associated with five major aspects of Emission Reductions Programs: level of ambition, carbon accounting, safeguards, sustainable program design and implementation, and ER Program transactions. The Methodological Framework will be used by Carbon Fund Participants (amongst other selection criteria) to select ER Programs into the Carbon Fund portfolio. As such, ER Programs proposed by REDD+ Countries to the Carbon Fund are expected to demonstrate conformity with the Framework’s criteria.
