Book Synopsis Clean Development Mechanism (Cdm), The: An Early History Of Unanticipated Outcomes by : Ariel Dinar
Download or read book Clean Development Mechanism (Cdm), The: An Early History Of Unanticipated Outcomes written by Ariel Dinar and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2013-03-25 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, countries took up the difficult task of finding a common approach that would slow down the build-up of greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere and delay changes to the planet's climate. A widespread concern among many of the participants in the newly formed United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change was that the emission reductions needed to significantly affect climate change would cost so much that it could jeopardize the chances of a coordinated international solution. To address this concern, several flexible mechanisms were designed, including the CDM.While many applaud the CDM, others are concerned with its performance and achievements, and whether or not it will be continued beyond 2012. Critics argue, among other things, that it has not delivered on the sustainable development objective for which it was established and that projects are unevenly distributed, both geographically and sectorally.Much analysis is available on CDM, but very little comprehensive analysis, addressing various aspects of CDM is available. With a major decision for its continuation, a multi-dimensional analysis would be needed. This book is about the economic assessment of certain (not certain) CDM performances, and its future sustainability and trajectory.

Book Synopsis Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification Manual for Clean Development Mechanism Projects by : Asian Development Bank
Download or read book Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification Manual for Clean Development Mechanism Projects written by Asian Development Bank and published by Asian Development Bank. This book was released on 2016-06-01 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), a market mechanism under the Kyoto Protocol, has been successful in supporting mitigation actions through carbon inance. With nearly 7,700 projects and 290 Program of Activities registered by the CDM Executive Board, the CDM allows GHG emission reduction projects in developing countries to generate Certiied Emission Reductions which can be used to ofset mandatory or voluntary emission reduction targets. It however requires a robust monitoring, reporting, and veriication (MRV) to ensure social and environmental integrity of such projects and the emissions reductions thereof. This MRV manual is intended to assist CDM project developers in understanding and managing the MRV requirements and process of their CDM projects in a simple step-by-step manner with the help of real examples and practical tips. While this MRV manual has been developed primarily to assist CDM project developers, it also aspires to be of help for projects participating in other existing and emerging market mechanisms. These may include bilateral mechanisms; voluntary carbon markets; regional, national, and subnational carbon markets; and any of the cooperative approaches and new market mechanism for the post-2020 carbon markets consequent to the Paris Agreement adopted at COP21 in December 2015. As carbon markets in the region evolve beyond CDM, there is a strong need to maintain and further build institutional capacities to ensure growth and enhanced efectivity of carbon markets---and this MRV manual is an efort in that direction.

Book excerpt: The concept of additionality has also been embedded in a set of guidelines, and effectively used since 2004.2 However, the Clean Development Mechanism is not providing the sustainable development benefits expected, and the rate at which projects are developed and approved is not sufficient to meet the growing demand for international credits from Annex 1 countries. [...] It is generally agreed now that the only projects and programs that can provide the volume of CERs needed in the required time frame are those of medium- and small-scale that can be implemented quickly, such as energy efficiency, small-scale renewable energy and waste processing.3 It is of particular concern that until now, the majority of the larger CDM projects have involved technologies that do [...] Summary of Recommendations The Pembina Institute believes that at the Montreal Climate Change Conference (the Conference of the Parties, or COP 11), the Parties should advocate that the following changes be made to strengthen the CDM so that it can deliver on its twin objectives of GHG reduction and sustainable development in a timely manner:. [...] Changes to the CDM Itself Expand resources and support for the Executive Board While the Executive Board must continue to be the body that reports to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) on the Clean Development Mechanism, the financial and professional resources provided to the Board must be significantly increased. [...] The structure of the Board should be changed so that a permanent professional body or secretariat reporting to the Board is responsible for the day-to-day operation of the CDM.

Book Synopsis Climate Change and Carbon Markets by : Farhana Yamin
Download or read book Climate Change and Carbon Markets written by Farhana Yamin and published by Earthscan. This book was released on 2012 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change is an environmental problem of unprecedented complexity, not just in terms of its physical, social, economic and political impacts, but particularly in terms of the range of policy instruments being designed by countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Climate Change and Carbon Markets aims to provide an accessible and practical guide to cutting edge market-based mechanisms which will reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This book is a guide for national and international policy-makers and industry professionals, who need to understand the carbon markets established pursuant to the Kyoto Protocol, one of the most complex agreements ever negotiated. The book sets out how carbon markets will function by explaining the rules, institutions and procedures of the Kyoto mechanisms, including: emissions trading, joint implementation (JI) and the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). It also provides an in-depth explanation of the EU Emissions Allowance Trading Scheme, emerging mechanisms in the US and developing countries, and how these will link up. For policy-makers, researchers and scholars; industry practitioners, companies, market service providers, technical and legal consultants, NGOs and all stakeholder organizations engaged in the Kyoto markets, this is the authoritative and comprehensive practical guide to this rapidly evolving area. Contains the full text of the key European Union documents setting up the EU Emissions Allowance Trading Scheme and the Linking Directive.
Book Synopsis Climate Change and Forests by : Charlotte Streck
Download or read book Climate Change and Forests written by Charlotte Streck and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2009-10-30 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Brookings Institution Press and Chatham House publication The global climate change problem has finally entered the world's consciousness. While efforts to find a solution have increased momentum, international attention has focused primarily on the industrial and energy sectors. The forest, and land-use sector, however, remains one of the most significant untapped opportunities for carbon mitigation. The expiration of the Kyoto Protocol's first commitment period in 2012 presents an opportunity for the international community to put this sector back on the agenda. In this timely, wide-ranging volume, an international team of experts explain the links between climate change and forests, highlighting the potential utility of this sector within emerging climate policy frameworks and carbon markets. After framing forestry activities within the larger context of climate-change policy, the contributors analyze the operation and efficacy of market-based mechanisms for forest conservation and climate change. Drawing on experiences from around the world, the authors present concrete recommendations for policymakers, project developers, and market participants. They discuss sequestration rights in Chile, carbon offset programs in Australia and New Zealand, and emerging policy incentives at all levels of the U.S. government. The book also explores the different voluntary schemes for carbon crediting, provides an overview of best practices in carbon accounting, and presents tools for use in future sequestration and offset programs. It concludes with consideration of various incentive options for slowing deforestation and protecting the world's remaining forests. Climate Change and Forests provides a realistic view of the role that the forest and land-use sector can play in a post-Kyoto regime. It will serve as a practical reference manual for anyone concerned about climate policy, including the negotiators working to define a robust and enduring international framework for addressing climate change.
