"An integral component of the VCS Program is the Methodology Approval Process, v4.0, which allows stakeholders to develop new methodologies that set out procedures to monitor and quantify the emission reductions and removals of new project activities, thus expanding the eligibility of project activities under the VCS Program. Such new methodologies are submitted to Verra for review before undergoing a technical assessment by an approved, accredited validation/verification body (VVB). Verra seeks a VVB to conduct the technical assessment of a newly submitted methodology as part ofthe Methodology Approval Process".
