Key Factors to a Successful PoAUNFCCC RequirementsProcedures for PoA
Project Development
Preparation of Programme of Activities Design Document
Validation (Designated Operational Entity)
Host country approval (DNA)
Acceptance of PoA by CDM Executive Board

CDM REGISTRATION FRAMEWORK
PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
(1 Year)
TRADITIONAL CDM vs PoA
Single projectTo cover the
whole emission target
Many projects to cover the entire emission target
IMPORTANT! Any entity that in PoA that closes will invalidate the whole project
PoA
Potentials of PoA Opportunities exist for institutions that have an interest in and
the capacity to set up programmes for a wide range of participants.
Transaction costs is spread among small and dispersed projects w/ low ERs to achieve economies of scale and reach diverse stakeholders and types of activities that are too small to be stand-alone projects
Promote SD growth path by accelerating climate policy implementation and simultaneously promote climate-friendly technologies

CDM-POA-Design Document
CDM PoA-DD: What? sets the framework for the PoA
implementation, and
defining a CDM programme activity (CPA) under the PoA
What goes into PoA-DD? 1. ID of CE, Host Party(ies) and PoA participants
2. Boundary in terms of a geographical area
3. Policy/measure or goal that it seeks to promote
4. Confirmation that proposed PoA is a voluntary action by CE
A must for CDM PoA-DD:5. Demonstrate GHG reduction due to the project
(Additionality)
Demonstration that in the absence of the CDM:
1. proposed voluntary measure would not be implemented
2. mandatory policy/regulation would be systematically not enforced and that non-compliance with those requirements is widespread
3. PoA will lead to a greater level of enforcement of the existing mandatory policy regulation
What goes into PoA-DD?
6. Description of a typical CPA in the PoA
Typical PoA CPA
1. technology or measures to be used
2. selection of 1 or combination of approved baseline and monitoring methodology(ies)
3. application of the methodology(ies) selected
What goes into PoA-DD? 7. Definition of eligibility criteria for project
activity as a CPA:
criteria for demonstration of additionalityof the CPA, and
type and extent of information (e.g. criteria, indicators, variables, parameters or measurements) that shall be provided by each CPA in order to ensure its eligibility;
What goes into PoA-DD? 8. Starting date and length of the PoA not
exceeding 28 years (60 years for A/R);
9. Description of the operational and management arrangements established by CE, including record keeping system for each CPA and provisions that CPA operators have agreed that
their activity is being subscribed to the PoA
What goes into PoA-DD? 10. Description of a monitoring plan for a CPA,
in accordance with the approved monitoring methodology, and
identification of the monitoring provisions and data parameters a CPA has to apply/monitor
What goes into PoA-DD? 11. Description of the proposed statistically
sound sampling method/procedure - to be used for verification of the amount of
emission reductions achieved by CPAs
What goes into PoA-DD? 12. Environmental analysis of the PoA as per requirements
of the CDM modalities and procedures.
If this analysis is not undertaken for the PoA but is to be done at the CPA level this shall be described and reflected in the CDM-POA-DD and the CDM-CPA-DD;
What goes into PoA-DD? 13. If comments by local stakeholders were invited with
regard to the total PoA, information on how comments by local stakeholders were invited, a summary of the comments received and how due account was taken of any comments received.If such comments are to be sought at the CPA level this shall be described and reflected in the CDM-POA-DD and the CDM-CPA-DD;
What goes into PoA-DD? 14. In case public funding is used a confirmation that official
development assistance is not being diverted to the implementation of the PoA
CDM Programme Activity (CPA)
CPA Definition: project activity under a
programme of activities1
single, or set of interrelated measure (s),
within a designated area defined in a baseline
methodology
(EB 32, Annex 38, page 1)
1 Local/regional/national policies or standards cannot be considered as CDM project activities, but can be registered as a single PoA project activity
POA
CPA1 CPA2 CPA3
What goes into CPA-DD?1. Geographic reference or other means of identification,
Name/contact details of the entity/individual responsible for the operation of the CPA;
2. The Host Party;
3. Starting date, type (fixed or renewable) and duration of the crediting period of the CPA
What goes into CPA-DD?4. Confirmation that the start date of any CPA is not
before the start of validation of the programme of activities
5. Information for use by each CPA:i) Fulfilling the eligibility criteria specified in the CDM-POA-DD, the demonstration of the additionality of the CPA;
(ii) Calculations of baseline emissions and estimated emission reductions by sources or removal by sinks.
