Simoshi’s Project Activity “Institutional Improved Cook Stoves for Schools and Institutions in Uganda” is registered with both the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) (10345) and the Gold Standard (GS) (4364).
CDM (Kyoto Protocol, 1997 → operational 2001) was created to help Annex I (developed) countries meet emission targets by financing greenhouse‑gas reduction projects in developing countries, issuing Certified Emission Reductions (CERs). Such framework came to an end in 2020 and was replaced by Article 6.
Article 6.4 keeps CDM’s core idea—internationally transferred mitigation outcomes from projects—but restructures governance, tightens integrity safeguards (additionality, baselines, accounting), requires Nationally Determined Ccontribution’s alignment and corresponding adjustments, and embeds finance for adaptation.
Simoshi’s Project Activity is currently transitioning to the new Article 6.4 framework, the substantive check for such transition was concluded, and is currently for public view on the UNFCCC website here.
Unless a request for review is submitted by the host Party or any member or alternate member of the Supervisory Body by 07 November 2025, the request for transition shall be deemed approved by the Supervisory Body, in accordance with paragraph 41 of the latest version of the “Procedure - Transition of CDM activities to the Article 6.4 mechanism”.
