The Working Group on the Methodological and Pricing Approach was established to make recommendations to the Participants Committee on guiding principles for the key methodological framework and policy guidance on pricing methodologies for the Carbon Fund. Work is guided by the Carbon Fund’s strategic objective to pilot performance-based payment systems for Emission Reductions generated from REDD+ activities, with a view to ensuring equitable benefit sharing and promoting future large-scale positive incentives for REDD+.

The Working Group consists of three financial contributors to the Readiness Fund or the Carbon Fund, and three REDD Country Participants, one civil society observer, one indigenous peoples and other forest dwellers observer, and one private sector observer.
