2022 TAB Assessment

 

Re-assessment

From 31 January to 11 March 2022, ICAO invited CORSIA Eligible Emissions Unit Programmes to participate in the re-assessment process in 2022. A key objective of this re-assessment is to inform TAB’s recommendations to the ICAO Council regarding emissions units that should be eligible for use under CORSIA in the first phase (2024-2026 compliance period).

ICAO received seven responses to the call for re-assessment. The responses provided - except for the information labeled as business confidential - are included below:

1. American Carbon Registry

2. Architecture for REDD+ Transactions

3. Clean Development Mechanism

4. Climate Action Reserve

The public was invited to submit comments on the responses to the call for re-assessment, including regarding their alignment with the EUC. Additionally, the public was invited to include views and suggestions on TAB's procedures. 

ICAO did not receive any comments regarding the re-assessment process.
