1. Decision 9/CMP.1, paragraph 4. • Projects under Article 6 aimed at enhancing anthropogenic removals by sinks shall conform to definitions, accounting rules modalities and guidelines under Article 3, paragraphs 3 and 4, of the Kyoto Protocol, • Decision 16/CMP.1 • IPCC Good Practice Guidance (GPG) for LULUCF. • 2.
