Methodologies

WHAT ARE METHODOLOGIES, MODULES AND TOOLS? 

The carbon benefits of Plan Vivo projects must be calculated using an approved methodology. Methodologies describe the procedures, data and parameters needed to estimate and monitor carbon benefits and can refer to approved modules and tools that apply to specific methodological elements.

Approved methodologies, modules and tools can be used by Plan Vivo projects that meet the specified applicability conditions. If existing methodologies are not applicable to the project areas or project interventions in a proposed project, new methodologies, modules and tools can be submitted to Plan Vivo for approval.

Methodologies, modules and tools must conform to the Plan Vivo Methodology requirements, be made available for public comment, and be reviewed by the Plan Vivo TAC and an approved VVB prior to approval.

  

APPROVED METHODOLOGIES, MODULES AND TOOLS

The first methodologies are currently under review.  

 

ONGOING PUBLIC CONSULTATIONS

Each methodology, module and tool is made available for public comment as part of the review process. Individuals and organisations are invited to review the draft documentation and submit their comments before the public consultation closing date for consideration by the reviewers. 

If you are interested in doing this, please submit your comments to [email protected] before 12:00 BST on the 31st May 2022. 

 

APPROVED APPROACHES

It should be noted that under the former Plan Vivo Standard (2013) approved approaches were applicable. You can find out more about former approved approaches here.
