0.2Approachofthisdocument

Astandardizedapproachforquantification,monitoringandreportingisneededforGHGprojectsandanyresultingGHGemissionreductionsand/orremovalenhancements,inorderthattheyarecomparableamongintendedusersandGHGprogrammes.Accordingly,thisdocumentspecifiesageneral,GHGprogramme-neutralframeworkandusestermsandconceptsdesignedtobecompatiblewithotherrequirementsandguidancefromrelevantGHGpoliciesandprogrammes,goodpractice,legislationandstandards.Reference[14]providesanexampleofgoodpracticeguidance.

ThisdocumentcontainsgeneralrequirementsforGHGprojectsanddoesnotprescribespecificcriteriaandprocedures.GHGprogrammes(e.g.GHGoffsetprogrammes)mayapplyadditionalrequirementsonGHGprojectsinrelationtoadditionality,specificmethodologies,projectbaselines,etc.Althoughthisdocumentleavesspecificcriteriaandrequirementsrelatedtoadditionalitytoindividualprogrammes,itdoesrequirethattheGHGprojectshouldresultinemissionreductionsorremovalenhancementsinadditiontowhatwouldhavehappenedintheabsenceoftheproject.
