The Forest Carbon Partnership Facility’s Carbon Fund held back-to-back meetings of the Working Group on the Methodological Framework (MF), and the Carbon Fund in Paris, June 20-24, 2013.
Despite plans to finalize a draft of the MF to circulate for public comment by the end of the CF7, the failure to meet this goal signifies that discussion and negotiations will continue through July. Although progress was made on the MF, the majority of the recommendations and proposals from civil society representatives on safeguards, benefit sharing and non-carbon benefits were rejected. Additionally, during CF7 the DRC presented its ER-PIN, and ER Program Ideas were presented by Chile, Indonesia and Mexico.
