Checking achievement of milestones and targets
Article 17c
For the purposes of verifying a climate-neutrality report the verifier shall check whether the milestones and targets laid down in the climate-neutrality plan have been achieved. To this end the verifier shall check: (a) the operator’s evidence on whether the measures related to milestones and targets have been implemented and whether the implementation of those measures has been completed; (b) the impact of any updates to the climate-neutrality plan on the achievement of milestones and targets; (c) whether the operator’s evidence of meeting milestones and targets is consistent with the climate-neutrality plan; (d) whether appropriate data is used to demonstrate whether milestones and targets laid down in the climate-neutrality plan have been achieved; (e) whether the calculation of data used to demonstrate whether milestones and targets laid down in the climate-neutrality plan have been achieved, is correct and whether that data is consistent with other relevant data in the verified emission report, baseline data report and annual activity level report; (f) whether the achieved targets demonstrate a reduction in line with the estimated greenhouse gas emission reduction described in the climate-neutrality plan and if not, what the justification is.
