Carbon Mechanisms Review 03-2015

Looking Back into the Future

The international carbon markets face a twofold challenge: currently operating projects suffer from the market crisis and many actually run the risk of being discontinued. At the same time, the future of the global Carbon Markets is being shaped in the UNFCCC negotiations. This issue of the Carbon Mechanisms Review takes up both challenges and reports on dedicated intiatives and features analyses and an interview with a UNFCCC negotiator.

Reforming the CDM SD Tool

Recommendations for improvement

This report (work package 3) synthesizes the outcomes of the preceding work packages (WP 1, cp. Arens et al. 2014 and WP 2, cp. Olsen, Fenhann et al. 2015), with an aim to discuss and propose politically feasible options for further development of the EB’s SD tool. Recommendations are drawn up on how to enhance the tool and on how to strengthen SD assessment of CDM projects in general, with a view to impact ongoing and future SD considerations beyond CDM, on a global level.

JIKO Policy Brief 03/2015

Role of Market Mechanisms in Intended Nationally Determined Contributions

The Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) intend to adopt a new comprehensive climate agreement at this year’s Conference of the Parties (COP) in Paris. The shape of the new agreement is emerging only slowly, including the role market mechanisms will play. A new JIKO Policy Brief assesses the potential scope of market mechanisms in the Paris agreement by surveying the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) so far.

Analysis of Possible New Market Mechanisms Pilot Activities beyond the PMR

This study analyses activities developed outside of the PMR that could evolve to become possible NMM pilot activities. It assesses a number of initiatives that can provide lessons for the design of market mechanisms.

EB 85

Simplifying and streamlining of CDM continues, launch of platform for voluntary cancellation of CERs scheduled for September

At its 85th meeting, the CDM Executive Board continued simplifying and streamlining the CDM by inter alia adopting new additionality rules for programmes of activities. The Board further decided to review existing approaches for additionality demonstration (e.g. first of its kind) and to identify options for introducing new models (such as negative lists). EB 85 also approved the preparation of a methodological framework for the development of standardized baselines and the establishment of a database on the cost and efficiency of technologies for SB development. Against the backdrop of the difficult market conditions, the Board discussed a proposal for the indirect subsidisation of the accreditation fee for DOEs. The launch of the platform for the voluntary cancellation of CERs is scheduled for September 2015.

Assessing Usefulness

Do Stakeholders Regard the CDM’s SD Tool as Practical?

This discussion paper discusses the usability of the CDM Executive Board’s Sustainable Devleopment tool. It consists of a literature review and interviews with selected host country governments, project developers and a buyer perspective on the usability of the tool.

Has Joint Implementation reduced GHG emissions? Lessons learned for the design of carbon market mechanisms

This study by Stockholm Environment Institute evaluates the environmental integrity of Joint Implementation (JI) in the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol. Of the six largest project types assessed in more detail, the authors find only one – N2O abatement from nitric acid production – had overall high environmental integrity. The evaluation clearly shows that oversight of an international market mechanism by the host country alone is insufficient. The paper makes recommendations for the ongoing review of the JI Guidelines, for carbon markets generally, and for a new climate agreement.

Practicability of Transitioning from CDM to Future Climate Policy Instruments

This study explores options for future market-based mitigation frameworks in Non-Annex 1 countries, starting with the CDM and moving towards various possible forms of a multilateral new market mechanism (NMM) under the UNFCCC, domestic emissions trading schemes (ETS) or domestic non- ETS solutions implemented as Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMA).
