  1. UNEP Risoe Centre Contribution to regional distribution Miriam Hinostroza Programme Manager 7th CDM Joint Coordination Workshop Bonn, 12-13 March 2011

  2. Regional Distribution • Measuring regional distribution - discrepancy in the distribution of current CDM projects lays in the geographic distribution of the different projects

  3. Regional Distribution • Measuring regional distribution

  4. Barriers • Lack of capacity for DNAs • Lack of finance to cover upfront costs • Complexity of procedures combined with lack of CDM expertise • Lack of awareness and know-how of project developers • Lack of project financing • Lack of local CDM champions • Specific nature and scope of projects in the regions

  5. Energy and Carbon Financepolicy analysis and capacity development to facilitate the transition towards low carbon societies • Increasing access of medium-small developing countries to the carbon markets Analytical work • Capacity building • Innovative approaches • Policy analysis on new developments: • Pledge tracker • REDD+ • Programmatic approaches • Interfacing and integration of NAMA and NAPA by sector • impact assessment - The role of capacity development in making the CDM operational in developing countries • Carbon finance and sustainable development: • Indirect benefits of CDM • PoA analysis – new sheet in the Pipeline • CER price analysis • Analysis of investments in CDM projects by sub-type, country etc • Carbon finance and clean energy: • Large hydro problems • Articles on hydro/wave/geothermal energy • PoA potential and feasibility study for solar technologies in Indonesia • CDM technology fact sheets • Guidebooks on specific issues of the CDM • Carbon Market Perspective Series • CD4CDM Working Paper Series • CDM data & analysis - CDM&JIPipeline • CDM Bazaar • Web based CDM Technology &Methodology Selection Tool • Institutional • Legal frameworks • enabling environments • Individual • Seminars • Workshops • Training sessions • Regional Forums

  10. CASCADE • Carbon Finance for Agriculture, Sylviculture, Conservation and Action against Deforestation • The aim is to stimulate generation of carbon credits from land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) and bio-energy projects in seven Sub Saharan countries: Benin, Mali, Senegal, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon and Madagascar. • Technical assistance to selected projects, developed by a variety of organizations from the private sector, civil society or governmental organizations; • National, regional and international knowledge transfer; • Institutional support to the Designated National Authorities • CASCADE is funded by the “FondsFrançais pour l’EnvironnementMondial (FFEM)” and implemented by UNEP DTIE and UNEP Risoe Centre.

  11. CASCADE – activities and achievements • Technical assistance provided to 24 project (PIN) in participating countries • Twelve from those PINS were supported to develop PDDs • Three out of the 12 PDDs are currently under validation • 2 more advanced afforestation/reforestation projects in Latin America have been supported with the view to draw lessons for South-South knowledge and experience transfer for the benefit of projects in sub-Saharan Africa • 2 reforestation projects in Senegal and Cameroon have also received support • CASCADetarget countries have received tailor-made institutional support with a specific focus on forestry and bio-energy. Support offered included: • assistance for the elaboration of the forest definition, • legal review of the national regulatory CDM framework, • capacity building for the members of the DNA national councils, • establishment of a website for the DNA,
