This standard provides techniques and methodologies for measurement, monitoring, reporting, and verification (MMRV) of solutions/projects developed in pursuance of regenerative climate action. This standard is applicable to all project types and categories that reduce and/or sequester emissions of greenhouse gasses, conserve biodiversity and contribute community benefits. The methodologies defined in this standard leverage technologies such as Satellite Imagery, Remote Sensing, Internet of Things (IOT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI). This standard specifies templates for registering climate projects, reporting their outputs, verifying the outputs, estimating the outcomes in terms of reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and issuing guidelines for issuing certificates for verified reduction of GHG from the environment. This standard creates a Taxonomy of Categories and Subcategories of Climate Action Projects and a database of formulas for every category that translates climate action outputs to outcomes in terms of GHG reductions. This standard emphasizes holistic considerations when estimating the outcomes in terms of GHG reductions; these considerations include potential, intended or unintended negative impacts, and accounting for GHG emissions during the entire lifecycle of the project.

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
