Introduction

This Methodology Standard outlines the Gold Standard for the Global Goals (GS4GG) requirements for accounting for suppressed demand in methodologies. This standard follows the principles of UNFCCC Article 6.4, particularly the "Standard: Setting the baseline in mechanism methodologies (v.01.0) (SBM016)" and GS4GG “Methodology Standard: Requirement for methodology development”, which require methodologies to include provisions to recognise and account for suppressed demand situations when determining the baseline scenario, where applicable.
