"CMIA helped to explain the potential for project-based mechanisms across a variety of constituencies and is a key voice driving the conversation on results-based finance and sector approaches for scaling-up emission reduction investments. We urgently need input from organisations like CMIA to operationalise Art 6 of the Paris Agreement."

Agenda

 Title: Experience gained and lessons learned from the CDM

Description: The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) has registered more than 8,000 projects and programs in 111 countries, and has created a rich infrastructure of governance, rules, regulations and standards for assessing mitigation activities.

To capture the experience gained and lessons learned from the CDM, the side-event will draw from a diverse set of CDM stakeholders, ranging from project developers, financiers, academics, civil society, national authorities, verifiers, and others.

The event will also present and discuss the outcomes of the “CDM achievements report” which captures the successes of the CDM.

CMIA’s Executive Director, Margaret-Ann Splawn, will deliver the Key Note and moderate the panel at this official UNFCCC side event, which gives a unique opportunity to reflect on the broad range of experience gained and lessons learned over the 17 years of the CDM and discuss their continued relevance in the current evolving context. CMIA Board member, Alexis Leroy, will also be a panelist presenting on the perspective of project developers.
