(RMUs) 18 previously issued by that Party and held in its national registry [Decision 13/CMP.1, Annex, para. 29]. Since an AAU or RMU shall be converted into an ERU by adding a project identifier to the serial number and changing the type indicator in the serial number to indicate an ERU, it can be supposed that ERUs from JI LULUCF projects would be converted from RMUs. It has been decided that ERUs that have been converted from RMUs cannot be carried over to subsequent commitment periods [Decision 13/CMP.1, Annex, para. 15(a)]. Consequently, it would not be possible to carry over ERUs originating from JI LULUCF projects to subsequent commitment periods. (b) In case of net GHG emissions resulting from its activities under Article 3, paragraph 3, and its elected activities under Article 3, paragraph 4, each Party included in Annex I shall cancel CERs, ERUs, AAUs and/or RMUs equivalent to such net emissions [Decision 13/CMP.1, Annex, para. 32]. This indicates that in case of reversal, the host Party is primarily responsible for replacing that amount in the formal UNFCCC procedures. 4.5.2. JI LULUCF PDD JISC04 approved the JI LULUCF PDD form [JISC04, Annex 14], which later on was adopted by the COP/ MOP2 in accordance with the JI guidelines [Decision 2/CMP.2, Para 3]. The structure of the JI LULUCF PDD is almost the same as that of JI PDD, with some modifications, insertions, and deletion along with adjustments to keep the conformity to LULUCF activities. The JI LULUCF PDD form (Version 01) and the guidelines for users of the JI LULUCF PDD form (Version 02) are available at: http://ji.unfccc. int/Ref/Docs.html. Table 4-4 shows the comparison of contents of JI LULUCF PDD, JI-PDD, and CDM- AR-PDD.

Annex 1: Contact information on project participants Annexes Annex 1: Contact information on project participants Annex 1: Contact information on participants in the proposed A/R CDM project activity Annex 2: Information regarding public funding Annex 2: Baseline information Annex 2: Baseline information Annex 3: Baseline information Annex 3: Monitoring plan Annex 3: Monitoring plan Annex 4: Monitoring plan Main features of JI LULUCF PDD version 01 compared to CDM-AR-PDD version 03 are as follows: (a) In A.2. “Description of the LULUCF project” of JI LULUCF PDD, it is not necessary to include the following items: • Explain how the proposed project activity is undertaken (e.g. what exact measures are undertaken, what is their impact within and beyond the project boundary, list plant species used and state if they belong to the categories of Invasive Alien Species (IAS) or Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO), etc.); • The view of the project participants on the contribution of the proposed A/R CDM project activity to sustainable development (max. one page). (b) In A.4.1.4 “Detailed delineation of the project boundary including information allowing the unique identification of the LULUCF project”, project participants shall provide information which ensures that areas of land are identifiable. (c) In A.4.2 “Conformity with the definition of LULUCF activities”, project participants should specify how the project conforms to the definitions of LULUCF activities included in paragraph 1 of the annex to decision 16/CMP.1, applying the good practice guidance for LULUCF as decided by the COP/MOP, as appropriate. In the case of afforestation, reforestation and/or forest management projects, project participants shall apply the definition of “forest” selected by the host Party, which specifies: • A single minimum tree crown cover value between 10 and 30 per cent; and • A single minimum land area value between 0.05 and 1 hectare; and • A single minimum tree height value between 2 and 5 metres. (d) In A.4.4. “Brief explanation of how the removals are to be enhanced by the proposed JI LULUCF project, including why these enhancements would not occur in the absence of the proposed project, taking into account national and/or sectoral policies and circumstances”, explain briefly how the removals are to be enhanced (details to be provided in Section B.) and provide the estimate(s) of anticipated total enhancements of removals in tonnes of CO 2 equivalent as determined in Section E. (Max. length: one page.) (e) Section B. “Baseline” shall contain all key elements of the baseline. Annex 2 “baseline information” to JI LULUCF PDD that should be prepared in parallel to completing the remainder of the Section B of JI LULUCF PDD shall contain a summary of the key elements in tabular form as well as additional supporting documentation/information. (f) In B.1. “Description and justification of the baseline chosen”, explain how the baseline chosen takes into account the good practice guidance for land use, land-use change and forestry, developed by the IPCC, and how it ensures conformity with the definitions, accounting rules, modalities and guidelines under Article 3, paragraphs 3 and 4, of the Kyoto Protocol. (g) In B.2. “Carbon pools selected”, in calculating the removals occurring within the project boundary in the project and in the baseline scenario, project participants may choose not to account for one or more carbon pools, if transparent and verifiable information is 83
