SQ Consult has been commissioned by the World Bank’s Partnership on Market Readiness to prepare a Guidebook for establishing Verification & Accreditation Systems for carbon pricing instruments as part of its Technical Work Programme.
The project will develop guidance on development of verification systems to assist countries in their readiness activities under the PMR. The objective of the Guide is to provide an overview and practical guidance for policy-makers and practitioners about how verification and accreditation systems should be developed and implemented. The Guidance will be developed based on existing experience in different countries and jurisdictions around the world, including lessons learned with their design and implementation and from other international standards and experiences gained, for example from international mechanisms like the CDM and JI. This will be obtained through, amongst others, surveys, questionnaires and interviews with practitioners as well as stakeholder consultation meetings with the PMR Expert Group on MRV. The guidance will be instrument-specific, i.e. contain guidance on the development, implementation and management of verification and accreditation systems for different carbon pricing instruments.
