CDM news:

In July two new CDM projects were submitted from Madagascar and India.

One CDM project got its registration action in July. The total number of registered CDM project is 7808 or 93% of the 8380 of the CDM projects that is alive. 10 projects are deregistered. Only 572 projects are still at validation and one have requested registration.

For 2366 CDM projects the DOEs terminated validation, and for 279 the DOEs gave a negative validation. 279 projects were rejected by the EB, and 64 projects were withdrawn.

The total issuance is now 1985 MCERs, this is an increase of 4.6 MCERs compared to last month. 3187 registered projects have now got issuance. The average issuance success is 83.6%.

The total issuance expected in the period 2013-2020 is now expected to be 515 MCERs, and500 MCERs of these have already been issued.

Voluntary cancellation of CERs has now increased to 43.8 MCERs. In South Korea CERs can be converted into Korean Carbon Units if they are from CDM projects in South Korea and cancelled voluntarily. This already happened for 21 MCERs. In Colombia a carbon tax can be avoided by buying voluntary cancellation, which has reached 3.6 MCERs.

PoA news:

Three new PoA was submitted in July:

“Small Hydro Power Programme of Activities in DPRK” in South Korea,

“Developing Large Size Biogas as Carbon Program in Nepal”, and

“IDCOL Improved Cook Stove Program” in Bangladesh.

Subtracting the 71 PoAs that the DOEs terminated validation of, the 3 PoAs rejected by the EB, the 5 PoAs withdrawn, and the 31 resubmitted PoAs we now have 421 PoAs in the Pipeline: 101 at validation, 1 requesting registration, and 319 are registered.

In total 2455 CPAs exist hosted by 75 countries.

The total issuance from the 64 PoAs with issuance is now 20.2 MCERs.

Article6Pipeline:

This is a new Pipeline we have constructed. It can also be downloaded from the CDMPipeline web-site.

It contains information about 25 Pilot activities, which have started experimenting with the creation of the new carbon market under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.

These activities are funded by Canada, Germany, Japan, Sweden, Switzerland, NEFCO, ADB, AfDB, and the World Bank.

We will continue to expand this Pipeline as the rules for the new carbon market under Article 6 develops.

Non-state actor news:

Our Climate Initiatives Platform (CIP) at http://climateinitiativesplatform.org now contains 258 International Cooperative Initiatives and CIP is a data provider to the UNFCCC NAZCA platform, the Non-state Actor Zone for Climate Action.

The CIP web-site includes a complete impact-monitoring framework for measuring progress of the initiatives: You can choose between 5 different monitoring Functions, for each Function a number of Activities, and for each Activity a time series for the Indicator.

If you are in a secretariat/focal point for an ICI, you can register and be upgraded to a user, where you can get a password to update the information about your ICI.
