How does Less ensure that the greenhouse gas reductions associated with its offsets are quantified accurately?
All Less offsets are Gold Standard-certified emissions reductions that meet the Kyoto Protocol’s Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) criteria for quantification. Gold Standard projects use methodology approved by the UNFCCC Methodology Panel (MP) and CDM Executive Board (EB) for defining the baseline, evaluating the project emissions and emissions reductions, and determining the monitoring procedure for a project. This means there are accurate measurements of the emissions that would have occurred in the absence of the project and the emissions reductions occurring as a result of the project.
