Workshop on "Developing a Regional Strategy for the CDM in the Asia Pacific Region" On 30 - 31 March, IGES and the United Nations Development Programme's Regional Centre in Bangkok (UNDP-RCB) conducted a joint workshop in Bangkok entitled "Developing a Regional Strategy for the Clean Development Mechanism in the Asia-Pacific region." About forty participants including senior government officials from twenty-one countries in the Asia-Pacific region gathered to examine ways of ensuring CDM and other greenhouse gas reduction efforts benefit the poor in the region. The Workshop concluded that developing countries should set clear poverty reduction criteria for CDM projects and industrialized countries should look beyond maximizing carbon credits, and consider adding a premium to CDM projects that hold high development dividends.   Date 30-31 March 2006 Venue Bangkok, Thailand Organised by IGES UNDP Regional Centre in Bangkok (RCB) Agenda Agenda and presentation materials Background paper 91KB Participants List of participants31KB Press release IGES Press Release Agenda and presentation materials Day1: 30 March 2006 Welcome /Introduction Elizabeth Fong, UNDP- RCB Opening Remark Tomonori Sudo, IGES Objective of the Workshop Nandita Mongia, UNDP- RCB Presentations CDM Modalities and Procedures 316KB Ram Babu, UNDP-RCB Resource Person CDM and Poverty Reduction 232KB 472KB Ram Babu, UNDP-RCB Resource Person Financing Sustainable Development - Emerging Environmental Commodity Market 180KB Nandita Mongia,UNDP-RCB Incorporating the CDM into National Development Plans: "CDM and FDI: Comparative Analysis" 1.5MB Kayo Ikeda, IGES -IGES CDM Capacity Building 100KB -Case Study Presentation on: Solar Cooker Project in Aceh, Indonesia and Biogas Support Programme in Nepal 224KB Kazuhisa Koakutsu, IGES Developing a Regional Strategy for CDM in Asia and the Pacific Region 208KB Usha Rao, UNDP-RCB Resource Person Question and Answer Plenary discussion Experience from UNDP CDM Project: Joint Presentation Presented by Govt.
