UNFCCC SB36 side event
The road to the Durban Platform: New framework, New market Mechanisms and MRV in Asia |
|
The Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) held a side event for the 36th Subsidiary Body sessions of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC SB36) entitled gThe road to th e Durban Platform: New framework, New market Mechanisms and MRV in Asiah on 16 May 2012 in Bonn, Germany.
This side event focused on the emerging issues in Asia under a new framework after Durban, including climate unilateralism, development of GHG-MRV on new market mechanisms, quality-of-governance standards for REDD+ and energy scenarios in Japan after the Fukushima accident.
There were around 40 participants including government officials representatives from research institutes and NGOs. This event was a good opportunity to share a andvariety of ideas.

| Summary |
|
| Prof. Jusen Asuka (Director of Climate Change Group) explained new emerging alliances including the Cartagena Dialogue and the Durban alliance. He also pointed out that climate unilateralism, for example EU-ETS extension to the aviation sector or border tax measures, may work if carefully articulated and targeted. |
| Dr. Yasushi Ninomiya (Director of Market Mechanism Group) presented GHG-MRV development and capacity building research in several Asian countries, summarising the preliminary results from a range of GHG-MRV pilot studies for broader sectors in Asian developing countries. He concluded that an establishment of simple but credible GHG-MRV framework based on the current practice of data monitoring/data management is crucial for effective implementation of new market mechanisms/ NAMAs. |
| Dr. Federico Lopez-Casero (Policy Researcher of Forest Conservation Team
) highlighted the importance of governance for the implementation of REDD+ and GHG MRV in the forest sector. He concluded that active participation and engagement of a diverse range of stakeholders are key elements to strengthen governance quality through the development of standards based on his research in Nepal. |
| Dr. Takeshi Kuramochi (Researcher of Climate Change Group) reported the current Japanese energy policy after the Fukushima disaster and his modelling study which describes long-term energy and climate scenarios. He also announced that the results of his study will be published within a few weeks. |
| |
| To conclude the side event, Mr. Dennis Tirpak, (Principal Advisor of World Resources Institute), made overall comments on IGES research including the framework of MRV, the experience from EU-ETS and possible assumptions on energy and climate scenarios. |
