               TAÏ NATIONAL PARK AREA EMISSION REDUCTIONS PAYMENTS PROJECT (P170309)



  The Government accessed its first ERPA payment, amounting to approximately USD$35 million for 7 million ton of CO2eq
  of verified ERs. The payment was successfully issued on June 6, 2024. This marks a significant achievement given that 70%
  of the total contractual ERs of 10 million ton of CO2eq have been met.
  This was made possible following the finalization of the validation and verification of the first Emission Reductions
  Monitoring Report by an independent third-party entity and meeting all the other prerequisites, including (a) finalizing
  the first Emission Reductions Monitoring Report and associated annexes on the implementation of the Benefit Sharing
  Plan (BSP), on the implementation of the safeguards plans, and on non-carbon benefits; (b) submitting the list of
  authorized signatories of the ER transfer form (c) submitting the list of government representatives who will manage the
  Carbon Assets Tracking System (CATS) to register and track ER units generated under the project; (d) signing the ER
  transfer form which included confirmation of the final number of ERs and the equivalent dollar amount; (e) uploading ERs
  data and equivalent USD payment in CATS; and (f) setting up client connection and submitting the Withdrawal
  Application.
