ICVCM status
No ICVCM decision on this methodology yet.
The CCP label is applied to credits by the registry, issuance by issuance. An approved methodology means credits from projects using it can be eligible; it does not mean every credit carries the label.
CORSIA programme relevance
Whether the programmes this methodology is used on are approved by ICAO. Programme level only; unit eligibility depends on dates, authorisation and each programme's exclusions.
