Considering that GHG emission reductions achieved under CDM activities are used for offsetting GHG emissions realized in Annex I Parties, it is essential for environmental integrity purposes to assure the additionality of the activities undertaken by establishing clear, transparent and stringent rules to demonstrate this condition, and the careful counting of emission reductions by defining conservative emission baselines from which to compare the emissions of the project activity.
