Simplified project design document for small scale CDM project activities

Project participants shall include, as part of the project design document for a small scale CDM project activity or bundle of small scale CDM project activities, a monitoring plan.

A single designated operational entity may perform validation as well as verification and certification for a small scale CDM project activity or bundled small scale CDM project activities.

Draft simplified modalities and procedures for small scale CDM project activities

Project design document for small scale afforestation and reforestation project activities under the clean development mechanism

A small scale project activity that is part of a large project activity is not eligible to use the simplified modalities and procedures for small scale afforestation and reforestation project activities under the clean development mechanism (CDM).

Simplified modalities and procedures for small scale clean development mechanism project activities

To use simplified modalities and procedures for small scale CDM project activities, a proposed project activity shall

For small scale CDM project activities meeting the criteria specified in decision 17 CP.7 and relevant decisions by the COP MOP, project participants may use simplified modalities and procedures for small scale projects.

This list shall not preclude other types of small scale CDM project activities.

A simplified baseline for a small scale CDM project activity specified in appendix B shall be deemed to reasonably represent the anthropogenic emissions that would occur in the absence of the proposed small scale project activity.

Several small scale CDM project activities may be bundled for the purpose of validation.

Indicative simplified baseline and monitoring methodologies for selected small scale CDM project activity categories

Project participants shall select a crediting period for a proposed small scale CDM project activity from one of the following alternatives

A single designated operational entity (DOE) may perform validation as well as verification and certification for a small scale afforestation or reforestation project activity under the CDM or for bundled small scale afforestation and reforestation project activities under the CDM.

This should also lead to major reductions in time spent by programme partners on small scale project management.

This list shall not preclude other types of small scale afforestation and reforestation project activities under the CDM.

b Paragraphs 8 to 10 of the simplified modalities and procedures for small scale CDM project activities allow for project participants to submit a new small scale project activity category or revisions to a methodology to the Executive Board for consideration and amendment of appendix B by the Executive Board, as appropriate.

Several small scale afforestation or reforestation project activities under the CDM may be bundled for the purpose of validation.

The Executive Board shall develop simplified baseline methodologies for the following types of small scale afforestation or reforestation project activities

The CDM modalities and procedures shall apply to small scale CDM project activities except for its paragraphs 37 to 60.

The Executive Board has established three panels the Accreditation Panel, the Methodologies Panel, and the Small Scale Panel and two working groups the Working Group on Afforstation and Reforestation for CDM project activities, and the Small Scale Working Group.

Project participants involved in small scale CDM project activities may propose changes to the simplified baseline and monitoring methodologies specified in appendix B or propose additional project categories for consideration by the Executive Board.

A small scale afforestation or reforestation project activity under the CDM is additional if the actual net greenhouse gas removals by sinks are increased above the sum of the changes in carbon stocks in the carbon pools within the project boundary that would have occurred in the absence of the registered small scale afforestation or reforestation project activity under the CDM.

Any amendments to appendix B shall apply only to small scale afforestation and reforestation project activities under the CDM which are registered subsequent to the date of amendment and shall not affect already registered small scale afforestation and reforestation project activities under the CDM during the crediting periods for which they are registered.

A small scale afforestation or reforestation project activity under the CDM shall be designed in such a manner as to minimize leakage.

Indicative simplified baseline and monitoring methodologies for selected types of small scale afforestation and reforestation project activities under the clean development mechanism

If project participants demonstrate that the small scale afforestation or reforestation project activity under the CDM does not result in the displacement of activities or people, or does not trigger activities outside the project boundary, that would be attributable to the small scale afforestation or reforestation project activity under the CDM, such that an increase in greenhouse gas emissions by sources occurs, a leakage estimation is not required.

The purpose of this appendix is to outline the information required in the project design document for small scale afforestation and reforestation project activities under the clean development mechanism (CDM).

The modalities and procedures for afforestation and reforestation project activities under the CDM shall apply to small scale afforestation and reforestation project activities under the CDM except for paragraphs 12 30.

Small scale business activities

The project boundary shall encompass significant anthropogenic emissions by sources of greenhouse gases under the control of the project participants that are reasonably attributable to the small scale CDM project activity, in accordance with provisions of appendix B for the relevant project category.

Together with the United Nations Office for Project Services, UNDP continued to implement community activation programmes, that help communities to start small scale businesses.

The Executive Board, in proposing the share of proceeds to cover administrative expenses and registration fees to recover any project related expenses, may consider proposing lower fees for small scale CDM project activities.

Project participants involved in small scale afforestation and reforestation project activities under the CDM may propose changes to the simplified baseline and monitoring methodologies specified in appendix B or propose additional project types for consideration by the Executive Board.

(c) Small Scale Enterprise (SSE)

How can vulnerability in small scale fishing communities be reduced and the added value of small scale fishing activities be increased?

a) The creation of small scale business groups, focusing on small shops

The Impact on Small Scale Artisanal Fishing

To date, the CORE programme has helped create and support 18 large and 53 small scale project initiatives, all aimed at encouraging self sufficiency at the local level.

We see the same large scale structure, but we see additional small scale structure.

In order to reduce transaction costs, these modalities and procedures are simplified for small scale afforestation and reforestation project activities under the CDM as follows Project activities may be bundled or portfolio bundled at the following stages in the project cycle the project design document, validation, registration, monitoring, verification and certification.
