Guide to Domestic Carbon Crediting Mechanisms

The document serves as an introductory resource for policymakers to design domestic carbon crediting mechanisms. It outlines the framework for recognizing emission reductions and carbon removals, identifies policy design options, and discusses the trade-offs associated with different design features to help jurisdictions align these mechanisms with their specific policy objectives.

• Carbon crediting mechanisms are designed to provide a structured framework for recognizing activities that either lower greenhouse gas emissions or enhance the removal of carbon dioxide.
• The guide assists policymakers in navigating the design of domestic systems by identifying policy options, providing recommendations based on existing practices, and highlighting the trade-offs between different viable design features.
