What makes a high-quality carbon credit?
Phase 1 of the “Carbon Credit Guidance for Buyers” project: Definition of criteria for assessing the quality of carbon credits
World Wildlife Fund (WWF-US), Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) and Oeko-Institut are developing a “Carbon Credit Guidance for Buyers” to guide buyers of carbon credits amidst a complex market. The project is implemented in four phases:…
Practical strategies to avoid overselling
Final Report May 2020
A fundamental difference in the context of Article 6 mechanisms compared to the Kyoto Protocol mechanisms is that, under the Paris Agreement, all countries have mitigation pledges – unlike the Kyoto Protocol where only the industrialized…
Should CORSIA be changed due to the COVID-19 crisis?
This paper analyses a recent proposal by the aviation industry to change the scheme in the light of the COVID-19 crisis. We find that the proposal delays climate action by the industry for several years and could reduce the overall…
Options for Improving the Emission Unit Eligibility Criteria under the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation
Discussion Paper
This discussion paper assesses options for improving the current EUCs. Clearly articulated EUCs are needed to define minimum standards for the “quality” of carbon offset credits that may be used under CORSIA. High quality offset credits…
Transitioning elements ofthe Clean Development Mechanism to the Paris Agreement
Discussion Paper
This discussion paper assesses how different elements of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) – including its rules, its institutional framework, its projects, and its certified emission reductions (CERs) – could be used under the Paris…
Avoiding double counting between CORSIA and Nationally Determined Contributions
Options for accounting under the Paris Agreement
This discussion paper assesses how robust accounting could be implemented under the Paris Agreement in order to avoid double counting between nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for…
International Climate Negotiations
Issues at stake inview of the COP25 UN Climate Change Conference in Madrid
At the 25th Conference of the Parties (COP25) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, delegates will negotiate the further implementation of the Paris Agreement. This study provides an overview of the international…
Lessons learned from the first round of applications by carbon-offsetting programs for eligibility under CORSIA
In 2016, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) adopted the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA). The scheme requires participating airline operators to purchase carbon offset credits…
Outside in? Using international carbon markets for mitigation not covered by nationally determined contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement
The Paris Agreement establishes provisions for using international carbon market mechanisms to achieve nationally determined contribution (NDCs). In international negotiations on the rules governing the Agreement, an important question…
Double counting and the Paris Agreement rulebook
The 24th international climate conference in Katowice, Poland, in December 2018 was a major achievement in the multilateral response to climate change. More than 190 countries managed to agree on nearly all elements of a comprehensive…
Implementing New GWP Values in the EU: A Quantitative Analysis
Öko-Institut Working Paper 3/2019
The quantitative analysis for the EU-28 and all member states indicates that a change of GWP values from AR4 to AR5 would have very small effects. Based on the emission reductions achieved so far as well as projections by member states…
How could the concept of an "overall mitigation in global emissions" (OMGE) be operationalized under the Paris Agreement?
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
This paper addresses questions that have been raised in relation to OMGE. It draws on a study conducted by Lambert Schneider and NewClimate Institute. The paper focuses on emission reductions that are generated within the scope of…
Accounting for the Linking of Emissions Trading Systems under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement
Discussion paper prepared for the International Carbon Action Partnership
By allowing allowances from one jurisdiction to be used for compliance in another jurisdiction, linking of ETSs enables mitigation to take place wherever it is cheapest. Emissions can thus shift across jurisdictions and over time. An…
Vulnerability of CDM Projects for Discontinuation of Mitigation Activities
Assessment of Project Vulnerability and Options to Support Continued Mitigation
This study forms part of a broader project, supported by the German Environment Agency (Umweltbundesamt, UBA), with the primary objective to analyse the current situation and development of the international carbon markets.
This report…
