Baseline additionality. Compared to the baseline scenario the project needs to mitigate climate change. That is the project must implement actions that are additional to what would occur compared to the baseline.

Level 1 additionality

Non-enforcement additionality. Projects are non-enforcement additional if their implementation and/or operation is mandated by local legislation or regulation but are systematically not enforced by authorities in the host country.

Level 2b additionality

Technology, institutional, common practice additionality. The project must implement actions that are subject to barriers of implementation or accelerate deployment of technology or activities and carbon market incentives are essential in overcoming these barriers.

Level 3 additionality

Policy additionality. Implementation of actions may lie out of the scope of the host country's Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Agreement and, therefore, not eligible for international transfer mechanism. When project implementation goes beyond its host country’s climate objectives and lies outside of the scope of its climate action strategy towards its NDCs, it is considered to be policy additional.

Level 5 additionality

AR-AM0014

Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts

SDG 13: Climate Action

Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development

SDG 14: Life Below Water

Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss

SDG 15: Life on Land

Afforestation and reforestation

The Tarout Bay Sustainable Wetlands and Mangrove Conservation Project (Ta-SWAM), led by Saudi Aramco, targets the restoration and conservation of 272 hectares of degraded mangrove habitats in Saudi Arabia's Tarout Bay. Employing the CDM AR-AM0014 methodology, this project aims to enhance carbon sequestration, coastal defenses, and support biodiversity through a variety of restoration techniques, including debris management and resilience reinforcement. Ta-SWAM anticipates a substantial impact on greenhouse gas mitigation, projecting an average annual reduction of 1,003 tonnes of CO2-e, culminating in a total of 30,099 tonnes over the crediting period. This initiative stands as a model for sustainable environmental management and community engagement in mangrove conservation, adhering to stringent international and national validation standards such as ISO 14064-2.
