GIS and JI: competition or cooperation Zsolt Lengyel SenterNovem Carboncredits.nl Budapest, 25April 2008
Outline • Purpose: provoking thinking and focusing on bottlenecks • Crowding out? • Competition and cooperation • Some recommendations... REC Workshop - Facilitating Green Investment Schemes
1. Crowding out effects spotted... • Buyers’ side: funds set-aside for KP mechanisms incorporates GIS less for JI/CDM • Host’s side regulatory attention towards GIS, whilst JI systems are not fully operational • Project level alternative routes creating even more confusion Co-existence of GIS/JI is a fact, how to improve the situation? REC Workshop - Facilitating Green Investment Schemes
2. Competition and co-operation • Project differentation for GIS/JI have a clear picture what project type (technical) is suitable for which scheme (EU ETS influence, baseline and monitoring) • Regulatory preferences and clarity attention to both systems at the same time (allow suppliers to chose) • Governance do not distort; make it easy (or difficult) Do not spread your resources too thinly! REC Workshop - Facilitating Green Investment Schemes
3. Some recommendations... • One step at a time? get your Track 1 JI ready before GIS ( if you cannot make Track 1 you may not succeed with GIS) • Identify the key GIS implementation challenges if you do not have a credible Environmental Fund, set it up! • Learning by doing the biggest lesson of JI is that one should start acting....and constantly adjust/correct... Watch out for lessons of Latvia/Hungary/Romania and those active in the field REC Workshop - Facilitating Green Investment Schemes
