Under this Sub-group, country delegates are seeking to advance activities aimed at having common rules for inventory accounting between corporate, national, and subnational inventories. In response to this request, Gold Standard facilitated a series of guided discussions in the first half of 2024 with the country focal points from Chile, Colombia and Peru, other experts within national governments and other stakeholders, to clarify and identify the objectives and priorities of participating countries and to inform the development of a concept note for the implementation of a pilot on accounting rules and carbon budgets. During these sessions, country delegates collectively defined the scope, timeframe, local expertise needs, governance, and ownership structure for the implementation of pilot activities over the following 1-2 years to ensure that these are appropriately designed, relevant, impactful and represent value for money.
Gold Standard is seeking a technical consultancy firm (based in Peru, Colombia or in one of the other countries supported through this project: Mexico, Chile, or Ecuador) with subject matter expertise in accounting rules and carbon budgets to support the implementation of pilot activities and deliver a series of products at the end of the consulting period. As described below, the consultancy firm will play a critical role in implementing the identified activities in the pilot concept note and ensuring all country needs are met.
