• Review of technical design, additionality, permanence, leakage, legal alignement, robust MRV and co-benefits.
• Assessment of commercial viability and scalability.
• Identification of key technical, regulatory, commercial, and counterparty risks with mitigation recommendations.
• Assess applicable national and international regulatory requirements (Article 6 approvals, host country authorisations, benefit-sharing frameworks, registry requirements).
• Advise on likely timelines, sequencing, and key dependencies for regulatory approvals.
• Identify potential policy risks (e.g. moratoria, rule changes) and recommend engagement strategies with DNAs and government stakeholders.
• Advise on the ease and feasibility of actual project implementation, including:
• Key milestones (project registration, validation, verification, credit issuance).
• Dependencies such as land tenure, community agreements, or offtake commitments.
• Realistic delivery timelines and critical path items.
• Flag bottlenecks that could delay credit issuance or revenue realisation, allowing for more accurate financial modelling.
• Develop or review project and portfolio financial models, ensuring:
• Realistic forecasts of carbon credit generation and issuance schedules.
• Market-aligned assumptions for prices, costs, discount rates, and verification cycles.
• Sensitivity and scenario analyses to inform structuring and risk assessment.

• Analyse funding requirements for each project stage (feasibility, development, construction, operations) and recommend appropriate instruments (grants, concessional finance, guarantees, equity, debt).

• Map potential sources of capital – including local financial institutions (banks, pension funds, insurers), development finance institutions, impact investors, and corporates.
• Recommend strategies to de-risk participation of local capital (e.g. first-loss tranches, partial credit guarantees, revenue floors).
• Identify opportunities to leverage carbon revenues to unlock additional climate finance (green bonds, adaptation-linked instruments).

• Review ERPAs, benefit-sharing agreements, term sheets, and partnership agreements.
• Ensure alignment between contractual terms, financial assumptions, and delivery milestones.

• Recommend adjustments to structuring approaches or project prioritisation based on market shifts.
• Provide insights on emerging climate finance opportunities and recommend how the Client can position its carbon initiatives to attract innovative finance (domestic and international).
