  32. Factors for Success • Growing awareness and interest in the CDM, particularly of the Private Sector, Research and Educational Institutions and the Government. • Partnerships with other institutions that are also interested in fostering CDM. • New venues for advocacy and research on CDM trends and issues.

  33. Factors for Success • Close coordination with IACCC and other groups doing capacity building activities on CDM to avoid duplication. • Availability of local experts to serve as resource speakers during workshops. • Availability of local CDM projects to be used as case studies during workshops.

  34. Barriers/Hurdles • Delays in the establishment of the Philippine Designated National Authority - coming national election (May 2004) - consensus of stakeholders on the structure and representations in the DNA • Delays in the enforcement of the Kyoto Protocol • Availability of financing for the CDM projects

  35. Barriers/Hurdles • Availability of funding support for the preparation of feasibility studies and Project Design Document • Lack of available data to do project feasibility studies.

  36. Barriers/Hurdles • Archipelagic nature of the Philippines • Need to reach more stakeholders outside Metro Manila, especially in areas that pose significant potential for CDM projects • Consensus among government, private sectors, NGOs, research and academic institutions and other stakeholders on CDM priorities for the country

  37. Barriers/Hurdles • Ensuring sustainable development benefits for the social acceptability of projects • High transactions cost associated with CDM projects, especially small-scale projects • Context specific information on feasible technologies appropriate to the Philippine setting

  38. Addressing Barriers / Hurdles • Take on steps to fast-track establishment of the Philippine DNA • Consultation meetings with stakeholders on the operational framework of the DNA • Regional Thrusts • Reach out to stakeholders in other regions of the country… • … through briefings, training, and workshops to develop their capacities to avail of the opportunities offered by CDM

  39. Addressing Barriers / Hurdles • Develop technical skills which are required and appropriate to develop the specific capacities of various stakeholders • Promote research from research institutions to enhance and devise ways to address CDM issues • Formulate training materials tailor-fitted to the needs of policy makers to effectively address the government’s concerns on CDM • Sector-Specific training courses to address the specific needs of the sectors

  40. Addressing Barriers / Hurdles • Collaboration with various CDM stakeholders to devise ways to lessen transaction costs associated with CDM projects • Collaboration with institutions to promote the goals of CDM and ensure that its implementation is consistent with its goals • Ensuring a balance between rigid compliance procedures of the government and the costs associated with its compliance to the project proponents
