3 Institutional Mechanism & Agreements Project PDD hosted on UNFCCC web site DEC 2005 Validation over (Took nearly 3 years) There is a written agreement 1. Bt Between the Farmers and the MS 2. Bt Between MS and ITC Ltd Tribal Farmers undertake the plantation and its maintenance in their own lands. Sangha s (Mandal Samakhyas - MS) would oversee the project activity implementation in their region, which includes awareness / training / resource provision and distribution. ITC would provide sapling / financial resources. ITC also manages the CDM project cycle and assists it in accrual of CDM benefits. MS will take up the task of applying for and obliging gthe CERs to farmers. Project PDD hosted on UNFCCC web site DEC 2005 Validation over (Took nearly 3 years) CARS and CLS more than 100 Project is Registered on Verification Ongoing

13 Climate change - CDM Climate change is one of the most important global environmental issues likely to impact planet earth and its socio-economic systems Every 2 0 C rise in temperature due to GHGs would result in3%dipinglobalgdp In case of India, for every 2 0 C rise in temperature would result in 5 % drop in GDP To combat Climate Change and its adverse effects, CDM mechanism came into existence under Kyoto Protocol
14 CDM scenario (Data ) 1. Registered dcdm Projects Global = 4312 (2150 million CERs) (2150,000,000 CERs) Project PDD hosted on UNFCCC web site DEC 2005 India = 855 (20%) 2. Scopes = Scope 14 A/R Validation over (Took nearly 3 years) Project PDD hosted on UNFCCC web site DEC 2005 Validation over (Took nearly 3 years) CARS and CLS more than 100 Global = 39 (0.90 %) India = 7 4S 4. Scope 15 Agriculture Project is Registered on Verification Ongoing Expected Issuance Of CERs by UNFCCC Aug 2010 Global = 152 (3.52 %) India = 11 CARS and CLS more than CERs Issued Project is = Registered 959 million 5 06 tonne 2009 ( CERs) 6. Approved Methodologies by Scope Verification Ongoing = 234 Scope 1 to 13 = 208 Expected Issuance Of CERs by UNFCCC Aug 2010 Scope 14 A/R = 20 (8.54 %) Scope 15 Agriculture = 6 (2.56 %)
15 A/R Projects A/R Projects under CDM were adopted in the Marrakech Accord (MA) in CoP-7 held in 2001 under Chapter LULUCF. IPCC in 2000 came out with a special report on LULUCF and cleared A/R projects and not deforestation. For the first commitment period only 1% (or 20%) addition or subtraction to base year emission of that party is allowed by A/R Projects while 4% for other source (like industry etc). It is estimated that the total global technical potential for afforestation and reforestation activities for 1995 to 2050 period is 1.1 to 1.6 GtC/yr. Tropics will have 70% of the above potential.
16 A/R Projects CDM Definition of forests under LULUCF Forest is the minimum area of land of 0.5 to 1.0 hectare with a tree cover of more than 10-30% with trees with potential ti to reach a minimum i height ht of 2 to 5 m at maturity. Host country has to adopt single minimum value and report to CDM EB (para 8 and 17/CP7). Afforestation: It is direct human induced conversion of land that has not been forested for a period of at least 50 years to forested land through planting. Reforestation: It is the direct human induced conversion of non-forested land to be forested land through planting on land that was forested but that has been converted to non-forested land. For the first commitment period, reforestation activity will be limited to reforestation occurring on those lands that did not contain ti forestson
17 What type of A/R Projects are eligible Establishment of wood lots on communal lands, reforestation of marginal areas with native species in existing forest fragments. New large scale industrial plantations. Biomass plantations for energy production. Small scale plantations by land owners. Introduction of trees into existing agricultural systems (agroforestry). Rehabilitation of degraded areas through tree planting or assisted natural regeneration.
18 What type of A/R Projects are eligible Legal status of land prior to 1990 to beclear. Use of invasive species to be restricted and indigenous species promoted. Define project boundary explicitly. Small scale project - removal of less than 8 kilo tonnes of CO 2 per year (175 ha area produces 4375 MT of wood/yr, converting to 2188 MT of carbon) and are developed by low income communities / individuals. Bundling of small scale into large scale projects allowed.
