Has the Reform on the CDM been Happening?
-Verifying Progress through IGES Databases- |
|
 The workshop introduced new findings from quantitative analysis using IGES CDM databases, related to progress and challenges for reforming the CDM. It proposed ways to further improve the CDM based upon the analysis of IGES researchers. The experts discussed about the enhanced efficiency of the CDM registration process as the average time for registration became shorter. However, progress should be made to reduce the time for the issuance of certified emission reduction (CER). The guidelines for CER issuance should be improved by introducing simplified rules. The experts proposed that the default value of grid emission factor (GEF) for renewable energy project for both the LDCs and the countries with low electrification rate should be introduced. It is suggested that the standardised baseline should include specific procedures to identify baseline/project scenario and conditions to meet the additionality criteria, which will reflect country-specific circumstances. Emission reduction calculation should accompany the excel-based automatic calculation sheet, by introducing default and/or country specific values. The discussion underlined that the CDM “procedures” not “principles” have been enhanced especially in terms of efficiency.
This workshop was held as the one of the expert worshops at the Third International Forum for Sustainable Asia and the Pacific (ISAP2011), organised by IGES and UNU-IAS on 26-27 July 2011 in Yokohama, Japan. |
