If multiple targets/indicators are selected by a Project Owner for a selected SDG, rows can be added to the table. 19. GCC Project Owners, when completing section F of the PSF, shall describe and demonstrate that a Each of the UN-level SDGs included in the GCC Project Activity includes at least one UN-level target and corresponding indicators, where possible, by suitably modifying and customizing it to the project scope, after considering nationally declared priorities; b The chosen project-level SDG targets and indicators described i are being committed to intentionally and voluntarily; ii will be positively and directly affected by the GCC Project Activity; and iii those impacts will be additional to what would have occurred in the absence of the GCC Project Activity. 8 For the targets and indicators for achieving UN SDGs see https//unstats.un.org/sdgs/indicators/Global20Indicator20Framework20after20202020review_Eng.pdf Number of UN-level SDGs targeted For each targeted UN SDG, has the Project Activity positively affected least one UN-level target and corresponding indicators8 SDG Certification Labels 2 out of 17 Yes Bronze 3 out of 17 Yes Silver 4 out of 17 Yes Gold 5 out of 17 Yes Platinum More than 5 Yes Diamond Global Carbon Council Project Sustainability Standard 9 of 27 c The PSF contains the GCC Project Activity’s targeted certification labels Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, or Diamond, indicating voluntary commitments to contributing to achieving SDGs. 20. Project Owners shall submit all information listed in section F of the PSF. Please refer to the Appendix-2 provided at the end of this document, which provides non- binding best practice examples for developing and completing section F of the PSF. The following six-step procedure shall be followed when completing the form a Step 1 Project Owners shall develop a list of SDGs to be targeted by the Project Activity. Inclusion of SDG 13 climate action is mandatory as a GHG reduction project activity naturally has positive climate action impact. At least one SDG beyond SDG 13 should be selected for the inclusion in the list. The Project Owner may prioritize SDGs for the nation in preparing the list. b Step 2 Project Owners shall develop a shortlist of relevant project-level SDG targets and indicators for the SDGs identified in Step-1 above, considering the UN SDG targets and indicators9 and targets and indicators for the relevant nationally prioritized SDGs. This list may be customized with proper justification. This list shall include at least one target and corresponding indicator for each SDG targeted as per Step 1 above. An example of SDGs implementation at the project level is given in Appendix 2. c Step 3 Identify the positive effect of the Project Activity on the implementation of the selected SDGs. All the selected project-level SDG targets and indicators shall be used to demonstrate the positive effects that the Project Activity has on achieving the selected SDGs. d Step 4 For the most relevant project-level SDG targets and indicators identified in Step 2 above, provide a justification that describes how the GCC Project Activity is expected to contribute to achieving the chosen UN- level SDGs. e Step 5 Include the monitoring approach and parameters to be monitored for each selected project-level SDG target and indicator defined in the PSF section F. 6 Performance toward achieving defined project-level SDG targets 21. Project Owners shall report their Project Activity’s contributions to achieving the SDG targets and indicators committed to in the registered PSF. This shall be reported in the Monitoring Report as per Table 3, Appendix 1, prior to the start of each Emission Reduction Verification. 9 UN-level Sustainable Development Goals SDGs, Targets, and Indicators https//unstats.un.org/sdgs/indicators/indicators-list/ Global Carbon Council Project Sustainability Standard 10 of 27 22. The Matrix in Table 3, Appendix 1 shall be used to map targets and indicators for the selected UN- and project-level SDGs, as defined in Table 2, Appendix 1; to demonstrate the contributions of GCC Project Activities to achieving SDGs, and; for GCC Verifiers to report their conclusions regarding the Project Activity for the entire monitoring period. 7 Third-party Verification of GCC project-level SDG targets and indicators 23. During Project Verification, the approved GCC Verifier shall also verify the defined project-level SDG targets and indicators reported in the PSF. 24. GCC Project Verifiers shall provide, as a part of GCC Project Verification Reports, a written assurance statement that a Each of the UN-level SDGs included in the GCC Project Activity include at least one UN-level target and corresponding indicator, suitably modified and customized to the project scope, and considering nationally declared priorities; b The project-level SDG targets and indicators defined in the PSF are i committed to intentionally and voluntarily; ii positively and directly affected by the GCC Project Activity; and iii additional to what would have occurred in the absence of the GCC Project Activity. c The GCC Project Activity is expected to contribute to the targeted SDGs for the selected certification label Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, or Diamond, as committed to voluntarily in the PSF. 25. During Emission Reduction Verification for each monitoring period, the approved GCC Verifier shall also verify the contribution of the Project Activity to achieving the UN SDGs committed to in the PSF and reported on in the Monitoring Report. 26. The GCC Emission Reduction Verifier shall provide, as a part of the GCC Emission Reduction Verification Report, a written assurance statement that a The achievement of project-level SDG targets and indicators defined in the PSF and described in the Monitoring Report is attributable to direct positive effects of the GCC Project Activity; and b the GCC Project Activity has actually achieved the project-level targets committed to in the PSF and, thereby, contributed to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals targeted for the selected certification label Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, or Diamond as defined in the registered PSF and reported on in the Monitoring Report.
