Additionality: a filter for eligibility
<br>
Emission permits will be issued based on "additional" sequestration or emission reductions achieved by a project, i.e. sequestration that would not have occurred in the absence of the proposed project. Environmental additionality is the fundamental eligibility requirement for a CDM project: this means that a CDM project, be it a sink or an energy project must induce an additional reduction of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.</br>

  -> Obrigado Teresa!
disagree  Elenice Brasseland: Caro PaulBrown, preciso discordar aqui, porque "attributes" e "additionalities" não são substituíveis nesse contexto. Sobre ''additional socio-environmental attributes'': IMHO, "atributo adicional" não é o mesmo que (critério de) "adicionalidade". Abs!

disagree  Elenice Brasseland: Caro colega, não posso concordar. "Feature" e "attribute" não traduzem o sentido de "additionality", e, portanto, desvirtuam o sentido do texto. Considere usar *attributes of additionality*, se não quiser abandonar o termo "attributes".
