An international climate organization classifies regional sustainability projects into four distinct intervention tiers based on three quantitative indicators: Carbon Offset Potential (, in kilotons/yr), Community Impact Score (, on a 1–100 scale), and Local Matching Funds (, as a percentage of total budget).
The evaluation criteria for the tiers are defined as follows:
- Tier A (Immediate Funding): Requires High Carbon Offset Potential (), High Community Impact Score (), AND Secured Matching Funds ().
- Tier B (Technical Assistance): Requires High Community Impact Score () AND Unsecured Matching Funds (), regardless of Carbon Offset Potential.
- Tier C (Co-Financing Mandatory): Requires High Carbon Offset Potential () AND Secured Matching Funds (), BUT Low Community Impact Score ().
- Tier D (Deferred Review): Assigned to any project with Low Carbon Offset Potential () AND Low Community Impact Score (), regardless of Matching Funds status.
Four specific projects are currently under review:
- Project Alpha: , ,
- Project Beta: , ,
- Project Gamma: , ,
- Project Delta: , ,
Match each project on the left to its correct intervention tier on the right.
