  1. Overview of PoA Standards SDM JOINT COORDINATION WORKSHOP Bonn, Germany, 24-25 March 2012 Wenxin Li, Programme Officer

  2. Background • (Decision 3/CMP.6 paragraph 4) the Board to reassess its existing regulations related to PoAs to: • Further clarify the application of existing rules regarding the demonstration of additionality and the definition of eligibility criteria; • Simplify the application of multiple methods and technologies; • Standard for demonstration of additionality, development of eligibility criteria and application of multiple methodologies for programme of activities (EB65 , Annex 3) • Standard for sampling and surveys for CDM project activities and programme of activities (EB65, Annex 2) 2

  3. Section III.A - Requirements for Additionality • Additionality shall be demonstrated by establishing that in the absence of CDM, none of the implemented CPAs would occur. • If a large scale methodology • Additionality section of the large scale methodology • If a small scale methodology and small scale projects • Attachment A of Appendix B of the “Simplified modalities and procedures for small-scale CDM project activities” • If a small scale methodology and microscale projects • “Guidelines for demonstrating additionality of microscale project activities” 3

  4. Section III.B - Requirements for Eligibility Criteria • CME develop EC (minimum categories, verifiable) • DOE assess EC (objective and comprehensive) • CME implement a mangement system • DOE assess the elements • Update of eligibility criteria • Revision of methodologies after being placed on hold • Amendment of PoA boundary • Initiated by the Board • At the renewal of crediting period 4

  5. Section III.B - Requirements for Multiple Methodologies • Cross effects refer to the interactive effects between the technology(ies)/measures of a CPA. • Demonstrate no cross effects, otherwise, request for deviation. • One/multiple measures/technologies with one/multiple SSC methodologies • Multiple LS methodologies or SSC+LS methodologies • Allowed in the methodologies • Request for clarification 5

  6. Sampling Standard - Requirements for PoAs • Sample size calculations • Required Reliability: i.e. Confidence / Precision • The type of parameter of interest: proportion or mean value • The expected value and variance (or standard deviation) of the parameter • PoAs • Allows a single sampling plan covering a group of SSC CPAs • More rigorous confidence/precision (i.e. 95/10). • Validation and verification of sampling plans 6

  7. Next steps in 2012 • Annexes to the sampling standard to provide best practice examples (Q2 2012, Q3 2012) • Assessment report on cross effects when applying multiple methodologies to PoA and possible development of guidance (Q3 2012) • Revised large-scale methodologies to include PoA provisions (Q3 2012) • Assessment report of stakeholder inputs and possible revision of PoA guidance (Q3 2012)
