Host country authorisation
The formal consent a country gives before mitigation outcomes generated on its territory are transferred abroad.
Authorisation is the sovereign gate for international transfers. It defines what may be exported, under what conditions, and with what accounting consequence for the host country's own contribution.
In practice, authorisation terms vary widely: some countries require revenue shares, some restrict project types, and some reserve the right to revoke. Due diligence requires reading the terms, not merely confirming that a letter exists.
Frequently asked questions
Can authorisation be withdrawn?
Terms differ, and revocation risk must be assessed contractually and in the credit's valuation.
Who issues it?
