History of the Protocol: Research and Development
Across five years of production, Protocol research and development has involved the engagement of more than 100 expert advisors, comprehensive roundtables, listening sessions, peer review milestones, and field testing across more than 16 projects throughout North America.
In the interest of transparency, a complete report of the research, development, and engagement strategy employed by EcoDistricts is linked below. We want to acknowledge the commitment of our Protocol Advisory Committee members and peer reviewers for their tireless effort in helping us build version 1.0 of the Protocol and delivering it to the world.
