- Publication 16 August 2021 Local stakeholder participation in CDM and new climate mitigation mechanisms – case study of a small scale hydropower project in China Public participation is recognized as a key principle for effective climate governance in Article 6 of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). In Warsaw 2013 the Conference of the Parties serving as the Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP) decided that the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Executive Board should collect information on practices for local stakeholder consultation in collaboration with the Designated National Authorities (DNA) Forum and…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Sustainable Development Impacts of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions: An integrated approach to assessment of co-benefits based on experience with the Clean Development Mechanism Sustainable development priorities provide the context for Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) by developing countries. While methods exist to assess the sustainable development (SD) co-benefits of Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects, no approach has yet been developed to assess the SD impacts of NAMAs. This paper argues for a new integrated approach to asses NAMAs’ SD impacts that consists of SD indicators, procedures for stakeholder involvement and safeguards against…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Guidebook for the Development of a Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action for Solar Water Heaters This guidebook provides an introduction to designing government-led interventions to scale up investment in solar water heater (SWH) markets, showing how these interventions can be packaged as Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAS). Reflecting the changing balance in global greenhouse gas emissions, NAMAs embody the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities. In addition to developed countries’ commitments to make quantitative reductions of greenhouse gas emissions,…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Maldives Low Carbon Development Strategy This report presents the findings of a study for low carbon development strategy for Maldives. The study was implemented under the Memorandum of Understanding between the Ministry of Environment and Energy (MEE), Maldives and URC and was financed by Danida, Denmark’s development aid agency under its Green Facility Phase II. The study work was conducted from October 2010 to March 2014 and comprised a number of study missions.
- Publication 16 August 2021 Institutional aspects of NAMA development and implementation This publication analyses how developing countries may arrange their institutional and organizational structures or enhance the existing ones in order to deal with these new developments under the international climate change mitigation regime. Focus is on how to ensure the implementation of NAMAs as vehicles for transformative and long lasting change. The publication presents an overview of the institutional challenges continuously posed to the Parties to the Convention when trying to…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Measures for the Diffusion of Solar PV are Aligned in Technology Action Plans for Six Countries in Africa Recently, development projects have provided support to governments to facilitate technology transfer for climate change adaptation and mitigation. These include the Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) funded by the Global Environmental Facility (GEF). In the TNA project, which was implemented in ten African countries from 2010 to 2013, dedicated government committees have prioritized climate change mitigation technologies and developed action plans for the diffusion of the selected technologies…

- Publication 16 August 2021 Electric Vehicle Scenarios for India: Implications for mitigation and development The transport sector globally is overly dependent on liquid fossil fuels. Electric vehicles (EVs) are touted as a way of diversifying the fuel mix and helping to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. There could also be other co-benefits of EVs, such as improved energy security, decarbonising of the electricity sector, CO2 mitigation and reduction in local air pollution. The Indian government has recently launched a national electricity mobility mission to promote EVs. There is, however, much…
