Yes. Emission reductions from jurisdictional programs under the FCPF have environmental integrity as they are based on robust methodologies and third-party verification processes. Environmental integrity is ensured by:

• Additional emission reductions
• Real emission reductions
• Avoidance of double counting  
• Assured permanence
• Avoidance of leakage
• Accurate and conservative estimates

A carbon market-based mechanism has environmental integrity if the generation and transfer of credits through that mechanism leads to the same, or lower, aggregated global emissions. Integrity is ensured through accounting that avoids double-counting (double counting is when the same unit is used twice to offset emissions, e.g., when the same unit is issued as a credit more than once or the same unit is claimed by multiple entities), as well as through the quality of the ER estimates (e.g., baseline or reference level, additionality, permanence, leakage, and uncertainty).
