JI Project CycleStatus and observations Morten Prehn Sorensen FIRST SDM JOINT COORDINATION WORKSHOP MaritimHotel Bonn, Germany 24 - 25 March 2012
Increasing project stream - procedures work • Overall the JI procedures and guidelines work well • Projects are progressing in more balanced way through the two tracks • T1/T2 choiceappear more nuanced due to new feestructure and external events • Examples of recent amendmentsbeingimplementedinclude: • Clarifications to guidelines for baseline setting and monitoring • Appraisalson all determinations and verifications
A flexible yet demanding mechanism • JI is contrary to the CDM case law oriented: • Methodologies and approaches are established together with project determination • In CDM methodologies are pre-approved • The case law oriented process is more demanding and not a simple tick-the-box exercise: • Different interpretations can occur between AIEs and even between individuals within the same AIE • Two appraisals of the same determination/verification can turn out quite differently • Flexibility both a blessing and a curse!
Example: Comparable cases • Guidance on Criteria for Baseline Setting and Monitoring ver. 3 endorsed by JISC 26: • Clarifies that approaches used in comparable JI cases can be applied subject to specific conditions • Approaches accepted by one AIE and deemed final by JISC may not be accepted by another AIE • Projects can as a result be locked up for long time periods • An appeal procedure could improve on this shortcoming and contribute to more consistency
Appraisals: Experience and observations • Procedures for appraisals amended at JISC 25 • Two experts review every determination and verification under track 2 in non-public appraisals • (Potentially) adds technical expertice and hands-on experience to the project assessment of the JISC • Appraisals may however have shortcomings • Can differ between experts and between period verifications • Proper review usually require more time than a one day budget • A random sample process with fewer and more thorough appraisal that are shared more widely • May improve efficiency and quality • Be more manageable and appropriate in a JI with unified tracks
