Fwrn SCHEDULE (Sections 5(2)(y), 8(2)(c) and 10(3)) ENVIRONMENTAL INTEGRITY REQUIREMENTS 1. Carbon credits generated in Zimbabwe shall be certified as representing real. verifiable, additional emissions reductions and or removals through an 503 Carbon Trading (General) Regulations, 2025 analytical science-based analytical model in accordance with a recognised certification standard. 2. The unit of measurementforemissions reductions and onemovals shall be in tones of CO2 equivalent emissions (tCO2e). One carbon credit and mitigation outcome shall represent ltCOl- 3. Carbon market activities including the international transfer of mitigation outcomes sha!J not harm Zimbabwe's ability to achieve its NDC or to set more ambitious emissions reduction targets. 4. The Authority shall apply a corresponding adjustment to all authorised mitigation outcomes at the time of first transfer as defined by applicable CMA decision or at the request of the mitigation outcome owner. 5. At least 1% of the total volume of authorised mitigation outcomes generated in Zimbabwe shall be subject to mandatory retirement and counted towards Zimbabwe's NDC. 6. All retirements executed on the Zimbabwe Carbon Registry shall be iffeversible. 7.

To ensure all carbon credits generated iu Zimbabwe are additional, the Authority shall only approve emissions reductions that wou Id not have occurred without the carbon project and corresponding carbon finance. 10. To ensure all credited emissions reductions and removals represent permanent emissions reductions or removals the Authority shall- (a) use the standard longevity period of30 years: (b) only approve projects that demonstrate adequate safeguru·ds to prevent reversals: (c) require PrnpoDellts to report all significant reversals affecti11g more than 5% of the total credit issuaDce in the most recent year within 14 clays of such a reversal being reasonably observed or recorded; (cl) require the Proponent to quantify the total volume of affected by any significant reversal and have this figure validated by an licensed 504 S.I. 48 of 2025 DOE, bearing all cost for the quantification and certification of the reversal; and (e) cancel or withhold from future issuance a volume of authorised mitigation outcomes con-esponding the to volume affected by any significant reversals. 11.To ensure that all credited em.issionsreducti.o ns and removals are correctly attributed to the project seeking credit issuance the Authority shall- (a) not approve two projects of the same type in the same area (granting approval to the first project which has received aLetterofAuthorisation or whichever project is deemed to provide greater benefit to national best interest where two competing applications are submitted): (b) only approve two projects of different types in the same area on a case-by-case basis once a review has determined the approval shall not result in attJibutiou errors or double counting; (c) not approve Clean Cooking Projects (CCPs) on the same land as forestry projects: (d) requiJ:e that all Proponents use the same baseline where reference areas overlap; and (e) requi.re all Proponents to evidence legal authority to implement the proposed activities in the area for which approval is sought. 12. To ensure the integrity of the transfer and accounting system through which Zimbabwean credits are issued, transferred and used, the Au tbority s11all- (a) require all authorised mitigation outcomes to be issued on, or transferred to the Zimbabwe Carbon RegistJ-y or the Article 6.4 Mechanism Registi-y: and (b) base the Zimbabwe Carbon RegisUy on the best available technology.
