CDM – a good buy in • Experience now exists • Opportunities are attractive • Methods are in place and continue to be developed • Lessons: • SD issues under CDM provide opportunities to level the playing field • Provide an opportunity to move forward and improve the CDM post 2012.
Main Issues • How to improve CDM? • How to address the lack of a fair Geographical Distribution of CDM? • How to bring in the Most Vulnerable – zero-CDM areas? • How to develop and improve capacity for CDM? • Lessons: • How to use the post 2012 CDM to address these issues.
Beyond Project based CDM • Different types of options: • Programmatic (growing number of projects over time) • Bundling (a number of projects – one time) • Policy (Using Policy approaches to addressing/implementing CDM) • Benchmarking (additionality)
The Future CDM • Establish a common approach • Consider a future CDM as part of a post 2012 regime/way of doing business • As AI Governments go for NAI bilateral • programme – incorporate CDM and also SD at same time – SD must drive.
CDM and SD • Strong SD requirement do not mean lack of investment • Consider SD lessons and SD Criteria to be considered INTRA G77 – CSD as basis • Additionality: Financial and Environmental – are they working/useful. Impacts on baseline, efficiency of Mechanism …
OtherIssues • Do we only stabilise or reduce – CDM is not helping us achieve overall reduction • There is need for more Tech Transfer • CDM only +ve impact on mitigation targets when CERs are cheaper • CDM MUST help achieve SD • Art 12 – emphasises on SD under CDM – this is not practised – we have drifted away
Other Issues (II) • Develop a 2nd (new) Stream of projects through POLICY CDM • Policy CDMs need be enabled through innovative financing and capacity building • Important to emphasise SD and not Equitable Distribution of CDM… SD to enhance CDM project activity… POLICY CDM, Aggregate CDM … • CDM is transparent – but needs more public comment, NGO comment, balance NGO (S&N)
