In May 2009, the WCI Cap Setting & Allowance Distribution Committee released a white paper and hosted a workshop describing options to limit the use of offsets issued by the WCI, as well as offsets and allowances issued by other trading systems, to no more than 49 percent of the total emission reductions from 2012 to 2020 that are called for by the regional cap.  The Draft Offset Limit Recommendation Paper builds on the white paper by summarizing stakeholder feedback from the white paper and workshop and offering the Committee's recommendations for implementing the offset limit.  The purpose of the Recommendation Paper is to seek stakeholder input prior to a final WCI decision.  Click here to download and provide comments on the document.  Comments should be provided by October 30, 2009.  The Commitee will also host a stakeholder call on October 21 to review and discuss these recommendations with stakeholders.  For information, click here.
