1. Scope and applicability
1.

The “Joint Crediting Mechanism Guidelines for Developing Sustainable Development
Implementation Plan and Report” (hereinafter referred to as “these Guidelines”) are intended toassist project participants in developing Joint Crediting Mechanism (hereinafter referred to as“JCM”) sustainable development implementation plan (hereinafter referred to as “SDIP”) andsustainable development implementation report (hereinafter referred to as “SDIR”).

2.

These Guidelines describe standards which are requirements to be met, except guidance indicatedwith terms “should” and “may” as defined in paragraph 5 below.

2. Terms and definitions
3.

“SDIP” is prepared by the project participant by filling in “JCM Sustainable Development
Implementation Plan Form” (hereinafter referred to as “SDIP form”) and sets out in detail, in linewith the JCM rules and guidelines, a plan of the JCM project to contribute to sustainabledevelopment.

4.

“SDIR” is prepared by the project participant by filling in “JCM Sustainable Development
Implementation Report Form” (hereinafter referred to as “SDIR form”) and sets out theachievement of SDIP implementation for a particular monitoring period.

5.

The following terms apply in these Guidelines:(a) “Should” is used to indicate that among several possibilities, one course of action isrecommended as particularly suitable;(b) “May” is used to indicate what is permitted.

6.

Terms in these Guidelines are defined in “JCM Glossary of Terms” available on the JCMwebsite.

3. General guidelines
7.

When designing a proposed JCM project and developing an SDIP and an SDIR, project
participants apply these Guidelines.

8.

The project participants provide a comprehensive description of plan and implementation on

9.

contributions to sustainable development (hereinafter referred to as “SD”) through their project.
The project participants should conduct ex-ante analysis of the contribution to SD using the SDIPform and ex-post evaluation of the contribution to SD using the SDIR form.

10. These Guidelines, the SDIP form and the SDIR form can be obtained electronically from the JCMwebsite.
11. The Joint Committee may revise the SDIP form and the SDIR form, if necessary.
12. The SDIP form and the SDIR form are completed in English language.
13. The presentation of values in the SDIP form or SDIR form, including those used for thecalculation, where necessary, should be in international standard format e.g. 1,000 representing
one thousand and 1.0 representing one. The units used should be accompanied by their equivalent
S.I. units/norms (thousand/million) as part of the requirement to ensure transparency and clarity.
14. The SDIP form and the SDIR form are to be completed without its format, font and headings2

JCM_ID_GL_SDIP_IR_ver01.0
being altered.
15. Project participants are encouraged to refer to, as appropriate, the related local and/or national
regulations in their preparation of SDIP and SDIR.
