Short description
(English)
This report presents Sylvera’s independent ex-post evaluation of Switzerland’s first authorized mitigation activities implemented under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement: - Project 5004: The Transformative Cookstove Activity in Rural Ghana, and - Project 5002: The Bangkok Electric-Bus Deployment Programme in Thailand. The evaluation was commissioned by the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) to determine whether the Mitigation Outcomes (MO) generated by these activities meet the environmental integrity, transparency, and compliance requirements of Switzerland’s CO2 Ordinance, the relevant bilateral agreements under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement, and the Paris Agreement itself. The assessment responds directly to one of the three questions posed in Postulate 24.3074 by National Councilor Bastien Girod that refers to the real emission reductions achieved through Switzerland’s international compensation measures. Sylvera applied a consistent evaluation framework across five dimensions – Additionality, Carbon Accounting, Monitoring / Reporting / Verification (MRV) System, Sustainable Development, and Legal & Institutional Compliance - using desk-based analysis and on-site verification in Ghana and Thailand. Evidence sources included the Mitigation Activity Design Documents (MADDs), monitoring and verifi cation reports, national authorization letters, interviews with project developers and government counterparts, and third-party datasets.
