Documents Standard: Application of the requirements of Chapter VB (Methodologies) for the development and evaluation of methodologies for the Article 6.4 mechanism<\/span> and : Standard: Requirements for activities involving removal under the Article 6.4 mechanism,<\/span><\/a> They set out key rules and procedures for the mechanism of Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement.<\/p>\n

1. What are \u201cremovals\u201d in the context of the Article 6.4 mechanism?<\/p>\n

\u201cRemovals\u201d refer to processes by which greenhouse gases are removed from the atmosphere as a result of intentional human activities and are either destroyed or permanently stored through anthropogenic activities. These include, for example, afforestation, ecosystem restoration and carbon capture and storage.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. How are removals monitored under the Article 6.4 mechanism activities?<\/p>\n

Monitoring of removals shall be carried out on the basis of data obtained from measurements, sampling, remote sensing, third-party sources and published literature. Such data shall be robust, statistically representative, conservative and shall take appropriate account of associated uncertainties. The methodology of the mechanism shall include provisions specifying monitoring approaches for all parameters necessary to calculate removals by type of emission reduction activity.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. How are the risks of reversal of removals taken into account?<\/p>\n

Participants in activities must prevent and minimize the risks of reversal of removals. Reversal of removals for which A6.4ER units have been issued must be fully remedied. Participants must conduct a risk assessment, which must include a risk mitigation plan, using the Reversal Risk Assessment Tool to identify, assess and mitigate risks and to calculate an overall percentage risk assessment (hereinafter referred to as the \u201cRisk Assessment\u201d) that takes into account both reversible and irreversible reversals.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. What is a Reversal Risk Buffer Pool Account and how does it work?<\/p>\n

The Supervisory Body shall establish an account in the Mechanism Registry called the Reversal Risk Buffer Pool Account, which shall serve to fully correct both reversible and irreversible reversals by cancelling the equivalent quantity and status of the authorization (authorized A6.4ER or mitigation contribution unit) of the A6.4ER Buffer Units. This account shall pool all contributions of the A6.4ER Buffer Units.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. What happens if an event is detected that could lead to a reversal of removals?<\/p>\n

Participants in activities must notify the Supervisory Body of any observed event involving the release of stored greenhouse gases that could lead to a reversal within 30 days of the detection of such event. Upon receipt of this notification, the Supervisory Body shall instruct the mechanism registry administrator to suspend the issuance, transfer and cancellation operations of A6.4ER units originating from the activity involving the removal of emissions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. How is it ensured that emission removal activities have a positive impact on sustainable development?<\/p>\n

Participants in activities must implement robust social and environmental safeguards to minimise and, where possible, prevent negative environmental and social impacts of the activity in accordance with the requirements set out in the Article 6.4 Sustainable Development Tool, the Article 6.4 Mechanism Activity Standard, the Article 6.4 Mechanism Activity Cycle Procedure for Projects, as well as any other relevant provisions developed by the Supervisory Body in this regard.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. How is emission leakage addressed in connection with emission removal activities?<\/p>\n

Participants in activities shall address the risk of emission leakage and take into account any residual leakage when calculating net emission removals in accordance with the requirements set out in the document \u201cStandard: Application of the requirements of Chapter VB (Methodologies) for the development and assessment of Article 6.4 mechanism methodologies\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8. What are the requirements for methodologies for emission removal activities under the Article 6.4 mechanism?<\/p>\n

The methodology of the mechanism must, inter alia, support ambition over time, be realistic, transparent, conservative and credible, take into account pent-up demand and ensure a fair sharing of mitigation benefits among participating parties. They must be consistent with the long-term temperature goals of the Paris Agreement and its long-term objectives. Spring<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
