What are post-registration change activities?
Post-registration change activities are actions that take place after an A6.4 project or A6.4 PoA has been registered. They include the inclusion of component projects in a PoA and the approval of post-registration changes to registered activities.
Notification of inclusion of component projects
What is notification of inclusion of a component project?
A notification for inclusion of a component project is the activity participants’ notification, through the UNFCCC website, of the intention to include a component project in a registered A6.4 PoA. The notification shall be submitted before the inclusion of the component project and follow the procedure’s requirements for inclusion.
How is a notification of inclusion submitted?
To submit a notification of inclusion, the activity participants should:
-
Complete the notification of inclusion submission form (A6.4-FORM-AC-065: Word | PDF).
-
Complete the online inclusion notification form for component projects.
-
Gather the supporting documents listed in section 2 of the submission form in nr. 1 above.
-
Send the completed form and documents by email to A6.4mechanism-activitycycle@unfccc.int

Prior approval of post-registration change
The request for approval of a post-registration change (PRC) can be submitted either prior to submitting a request for issuance of A6.4ERs that are affected by the PRC (prior-approval track) following below steps, or together with such request for issuance of A6.4ERs (issuance track)
What is a post-registration change?
A PRC is a change that occurs, or is expected to occur, to a registered A6.4 project. The change must be approved by the Supervisory Body to maintain the registration status of the project and PoA under the Article 6.4 mechanism.
Post-registration changes include temporary deviations, permanent changes, and registration or overlap with other crediting schemes, subject to the conditions set out in the activity standard.
