Clean Development Mechanism

Clean development mechanism registry requirements

Parties participating in the CDM shall designate a national authority for the CDM.

The Guide established the framework for promoting and implementing CDM projects and has contributed to improving the county's capacity to attract CDM investments.

The Executive Board shall identify a registry administrator to maintain the registry under its authority.

The CDM registry administrator shall notify the Executive Board of cases where a certification report for an afforestation or reforestation project activity for which lCER are issued, has not been provided within five years of the last certification.

This decision finalized the rules of the clean development mechanism.

The Executive Board shall supervise the CDM, under the authority and guidance of the COP MOP, and be fully accountable to the COP MOP.

Participation in a CDM project activity is voluntary.

Report of the Executive Board of the clean development mechanism and election of members of the Executive Board

The past three years have seen the clean development mechanism (CDM) move from theory to practice.

Modalities and procedures for afforestation and reforestation project activities under the clean development mechanism

Project design document for afforestation and reforestation project activities under the CDM

Procedures for review referred to in paragraph 65 of the modalities and procedures for a clean development mechanism

A CDM project activity is additional if anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases by sources are reduced below those that would have occurred in the absence of the registered CDM project activity.

Part of the administrative costs for the CDM is recovered through fees for user specific services such as those relating to registration under the CDM.

Any revision of the decision shall not affect clean development mechanism project activities already registered.

Where the accreditation of a designated operational entity has been withdrawn or suspended, ERUs, CERs, AAUs and or RMUs equal to the excess CERs issued, as determined by the Executive Board, shall be transferred to a cancellation account in the CDM registry.

Addressing non permanence of afforestation and reforestation project activities under the CDM

Additional requirements for the CDM registry to address afforestation and reforestation project activities

Small scale afforestation and reforestation project activities under the clean development mechanism (CDM) shall follow the stages of the project cycle specified in the modalities and procedures for afforestation and reforestation project activities under the CDM contained in the annex to decision 19 CP.9 (hereinafter referred to as the modalities and procedures for afforestation and reforestation project activities under the CDM).

Project design document for small scale afforestation and reforestation project activities under the clean development mechanism

Procedures for review as referred to in paragraph 41 of the modalities and procedures for a clean development mechanism

All provisions of section B of the CDM modalities and procedures, contained in the annex to decision 17 CP.7, shall apply mutatis mutandis to afforestation and reforestation project activities under the CDM.

All provisions of section F of the CDM modalities and procedures, contained in the annex to decision 17 CP.7, shall apply mutatis mutandis to afforestation and reforestation project activities under the CDM.

Each CER shall be held in only one account in one registry at a given time.

Simplified modalities and procedures for small scale afforestation and reforestation project activities under the clean development mechanism

Thus, the clean development mechanism should be strengthened, and measures on adaptation and the transfer and development of technologies had to be enhanced.

How can developing countries take full advantage of the clean development mechanism to attract investment and achieve national sustainable development objectives?

A Party not included in Annex I may host an afforestation or reforestation project activity under the CDM if it has selected and reported to the Executive Board through its designated national authority for the CDM

Many aspects of the clean development mechanism (CDM), which would be crucial for reaching reduction targets and for delivering sustainable development, were also covered.

For example, Point Carbon (emission trading market) quotes the price of carbon as the European Union Allowance (EUA), which changes daily, and the World Bank (carbon fund) indicates USD 3 5 tCO2 for the Prototype Carbon Fund and EUR 5 6 tCO2 for the Netherlands Clean Development Facility.

Upon such issuance, the CDM registry administrator shall promptly

The provisions of this appendix shall be interpreted in accordance with the annex above on modalities and procedures for a CDM.

Standards for the accreditation of operational entities in relation to afforestation and reforestation project activities under the CDM

The CDM registry established and maintained by the Executive Board shall be used to ensure the accurate accounting of the issuance, holding, transfer, acquisition and cancellation of tCERs and lCERs from afforestation and reforestation project activities under the CDM.

The issuance of tCERs or lCERs for afforestation and reforestation project activities under the CDM shall be subject to the provisions of paragraphs 65 and 66 of the CDM modalities and procedures, contained in the annex to decision 17 CP.7.

The crediting period for a proposed afforestation or reforestation project activity under the CDM shall be either

The documentation submitted using electronic means is subject to the transparency and confidentiality provisions of the CDM modalities and procedures.

The Kyoto Protocol sets up a market based mechanism (the CDM) that is designed, in part, to ease the compliance costs of developed country parties and that would not exist in the absence of the Protocol.

Despite the great potential to use the CDM to boost renewable energy, transportation and reforestation projects in Africa, the region is currently at a disadvantage in developing its own CDM projects.

All provisions of section E of the CDM modalities and procedures, contained in the annex to decision 17 CP.7, shall apply mutatis mutandis to afforestation and reforestation project activities under the CDM.

CDM projects have a rigorous mechanism for ensuring additionality, for avoiding double counting, and for monitoring and verification.

Registration is the formal acceptance by the Executive Board of a validated project as a CDM project activity.

The crediting period shall begin at the start of the afforestation or reforestation project activity under the CDM.
