Architecture for REDD+ Transactions (ART)

  1. The REDD+ Environmental Excellence Standard (TREES) - Version 2

    • Note: HFLD approaches for REDD/REDD+ activities and projects are not eligible.

*Projects utilising these methodologies are assessed on a case-by-case basis.

The above list of carbon crediting programmes and methodologies meet the eligibility criteria and domestic laws, regulations and administrative frameworks of both Thailand and Singapore. 

Though eligible, the applicability of these methodologies may be further assessed by both Thailand and Singapore when project applications are submitted. Projects utilising the methodologies marked with an asterisk are assessed on a case-by-case basis. Singapore and / or Thailand reserves the right to refuse authorisation of a mitigation activity.

The refusal for authorisation may be due to: 

  • The methodology is not aligned with domestic laws, regulations and administrative frameworks of respective countries, when the project application is submitted. 

  • The methodology has been suspended or placed under formal review by the relevant carbon crediting programme, when the project application is submitted. 

  • The methodology is not the latest version. 

Additional requirements from Singapore for specific project types and methodologies can be found here.
