Carbon Market Watch submitted input on the Version 02.2 of the Draft Standard: Addressing non-permanence/reversals. This draft standard has been written by the Methodological Expert Panel (MEP) of the Paris Agreement Crediting Mechanism, and was up for public consultation from 10 to 24 September 2025.
This version includes some robust provisions. However, further changes are still necessary for it to become truly strong, as outlined in our submission. Unlike Version 1 of the standard, which Carbon Market Watch commented on in the earlier consultation and which contained two alternative versions, this draft presents only one recommendation in line with the mandate from the Supervisory Body that asked the MEP to develop a single recommendation.
