Standardized Crediting Framework

The Standardized Crediting Framework (SCF) is a streamlined, country-owned emissions reduction crediting framework that improves transparency of national crediting decision-making, reduces transaction costs, and shortens the time it takes to generate those emissions reductions. Developed and supported by the Carbon Initiative for Development (Ci-Dev), the SCF builds on the lessons learned from experiences with the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) model, which was developed and used under the Kyoto treaty.

Knowledge center

One of the main objectives for Ci-Dev is to distill and disseminate lessons learned from its work to inspire further scaling and replication. In particular, Ci-Dev has developed expertise and knowledge related to carbon crediting methodology, the fund’s portfolio of low-carbon energy access programs in low income countries, and results-based finance barriers and approaches.
