Proposed Philippine CDM National Approval Criteria • A Proposed Project shall be given national approval if it assists the Philippines in achieving sustainable development. • A Proposed Project shall be assessed using sustainable developmentcriteria which are meaningful from a project level perspective and are in line with the Philippine Agenda 21. • A Proposed Project shall be evaluated using criteria for the three dimensions encompassing sustainable development: economic, environmental and social.
Proposed Philippine CDM National Approval Criteria • Project level indicators, quantitative and/or qualitative shall be used to identify the sustainable development impacts of a Proposed Project. • Measures to mitigate significant negative impacts of a Proposed Project must be identified. • Methods to monitor the major sustainable development impacts of a Proposed Project must be identified. • The overallsustainable development impact of a Proposed Project must be positive.
List of Sustainable Development Criteria A. Economic Dimension • Generates sustainable employment of local community • Provides livelihood and other economic opportunities in the community • Provides proper safety nets and compensatory measures for the affected minority • Uses cleaner, more efficient and environment-friendly technology
List of Sustainable Development Criteria B. Environmental Dimension • Complies with environmental policies and standards • Provides local environmental benefits • Promotes sustainable use of natural resources • Protects and conserves local biodiversity
List of Sustainable Development Criteria C. Social Dimension • Provides measures to alleviate poverty • Provides education and training which build the capacities of local stakeholders • Provides vulnerable groups access to local services • Promotes local participation in the project
