– DNA Structure and Approval Process
The Kyoto Protocol
• Adopted in 1997 under the UNFCCC
• Set binding emission reduction targets for
•
•
•
developed countries – average of 5% below
1990 levels.
Targets are to be achieved by 2008-2012 - “first
commitment period”.
3 “Flexible Mechanisms”
- Emissions Trading,
- Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)
- Joint Implementation (JI)
Developing countries don’t have targets for the
KITE
“first commitment period”.

How does CDM Work?
Objective:
– Assist developed countries (Annex 1) achieve
compliance with KP targets
– Assist developing countries achieve
sustainable development
• Greenhouse gases mix uniformly in the
•
atmosphere - so it does not matter where you
reduce them
Flexible mechanisms helps reduce cost of
meeting targets and creates an incentive to
maximize reductions
• GHG gases: CO2, CH4, SF6, N2O,HFC, PFC

The CDM
• Guiding principles
– Voluntary participation
– Real, measurable and long-term benefits
related to mitigation of climate change
– Reductions must be additional to any that
would occur in the absence of projects activity
“The COP was to elaborate modalities and
procedures with the objective of ensuring
transparency, efficiency and accountability
through independent auditing and verification
of project activities”
