Mechanisms for implementing climate projects
This material presents well-known data on climate projects in Russia, as well as transactions involving the carbon units they emit.
In the territory of the Russian Federation, projects are implemented according to the following mechanisms:
Common features of the mechanisms:
- Reduction (prevention) of greenhouse gas emissions or (and) absorption of greenhouse gases
- Stages of implementing climate projects (development, validation, registration in the Registry, monitoring, verification of results, and issuance of carbon units)
- Implementation of climate projects in the territory of the Russian Federation
