Underlying Principle Millennium Development Goal Halve the proportion of people living in extreme poverty by 2015 Water, Energy, Health, Agriculture & Biodiversity (WEHAB) Climate Change - a cross cutting issue
Efficient CDM Process Obtaining high value investments New investments to catalyze reduced carbon development Divert existing investments to areas that would reduce GHG emissions Host country approval – Designated National Authority Sustainable development criteria – host country responsibility Lead to high quality CERs Obtaining optimum price for CERs
Learning by Doing: UNDP’s Experience - Findings Existence of win-win project opportunities Large proportion of small size projects Good rate of return on a project is a necessary but not a sufficient condition Demand for transparent government infrastructure and clarity on institutional responsibilities Critical need for human, institutional and systemic capacity and enabling environment
Designated National Authorities (DNAs): Learning Project promotion and Project over- sight represent inherent conflict Inputs from diverse stake holders can be beneficial Efficient administrative structures reduce transaction costs Clarity in implementation guidelines Sustainable Development Criteria
Sustainable Development Criteria Equity, Efficiency and Sustainability and Defined by national priorities Microeconomic and Project based Ability to Measure and Monitor Operational Transparent Participatory Minimal – Keep it Simple
Sustainable Development Vs. MDG Indicators Can MDG Indicators provide guidance for development of the Sustainable Development Indicators?
Other Lessons Need to start now! CER price is a concern Need to understand the market Reduce transaction costs Long term and equity perspective ⇓ Capacity Development
