The UNEP DTU Pipelines have been updated at www.cdmpipeline.org, www.namapipeline.org, and at https://www.unenvironment.org/explore-topics/climate-change/what-we-do/mitigation/pledge-pipeline and www.climateinitiativesplatform.org

CDM news:

In November 4 new CDM projects were submitted: 1 hydro power project in Gabon, and 1 solar PV project in each of the countries Chile, Vietnam and India.

Eight CDM projects got its registration action in November. The total number of registered CDM projects are 7845 or 93% of the 8409 of the CDM projects that are alive. 12 projects are deregistered. Only 562 projects are still at validation.

For 2381 CDM projects the DOEs terminated validation, and for 279 the DOEs gave a negative validation. 280 projects were rejected by the EB, and 64 projects were withdrawn.

The total issuance is now 2046 MCERs, this is an increase of 2.3 MCERs compared to last month. 3249 registered projects have now got issuance. The average issuance success is 82.0%.

The total issuance expected in the period 2013-2020 is now expected to be 576 MCERs, and 561 MCERs of these have already been issued.

Voluntary cancellation of CERs has now increased to 67.6 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 25.4 MCERs. In Colombia a carbon tax can be avoided by buying voluntary cancellation, which has reached 4.9 MCERs.

JI news:

The second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol, running from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2020 was adopted in 2012 through “the Doha Amendment” to the Kyoto protocol. However, the threshold for entry into legal force of the Amendment (144 Parties), was only achieved on 2 November 2020 so the second commitment period will come into effect on the very last day of the commitment period, i.e. on 31 December 2020. It look therefore likely that there will be no time to make new JI projects.

PoA news:

8 new PoAs were submitted in November:

One solar program in India,

One mixed renewable program in Asia & Africa,

One brick program in Nepal,

Two mixed renewable program in Vietnam,

One mixed renewable program in India,

One small hydro program in North Korea,

One e-mobility program in Cambodia.

26 New CPAs were submitted for:

Five new CPAs for ref 9626: "DelAgua Public Health Program in Eastern Africa",

Two new CPAs for ref 10341: "MicroEnergy Credits – Microfinance for Clean Energy Product Lines - Africa,

19 new CPAs for ref 10576: "Ghana Improved Cookstove Project by EWP in Republic of Korea".

Subtracting the 73 PoAs that the DOEs terminated validation of, the 3 PoAs rejected by the EB, the 6 PoAs withdrawn, and the 31 resubmitted PoAs we now have 484 PoAs in the Pipeline: 145 at validation, and 336 are registered.

In total 2791 CPAs exist hosted by 75 countries.

The total issuance from the 81 PoAs with issuance is now 31.3 MCERs.

Article6Pipeline:

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

It contains information about 44 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.

NAMApipeline news: see www.namapipeline.org

The UNFCCC NAMA Registry can be accessed by the public at the webpage:  www4.unfccc.int/sites/nama

In November one NAMAs were submitted from Guatemala.

The total number of NAMAs is 190 (2 NAMAs were withdrawn, and 2 was resubmitted).

The total support offered is 164 MUS$ only 1.1% of the total support requested of 14767 MUS$, and the total cost for the NAMAs is 71092 MUS$.

NDC & PledgePipeline news:

Available at:  http://www.unenvironment.org/explore-topics/climate-change/what-we-do/mitigation/Samoa Transport Sector NAMApledge-pipeline

Our Pledgepipeline includes the Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs/NDCs) that are submitted to the UNFCCC.

Now 161 Parties (189 countries) responsible to 96.9% of the total GHG emissions have ratified the Paris Agreement.

At this site you can also find our CitiesAndRegionsPipeline, which in addition to the country pledges contain 284 pledges from regions and 1991 pledges from cities.

Non-state actor news:

Our Climate Initiatives Platform (CIP) at http://climateinitiativesplatform.org now contains 261 International Cooperative Initiatives (ICIs) and CIP is a data provider to the UNFCCC NAZCA platform, the Non-state Actor Zone for Climate Action. All the ICIs in CIP that are alive will now be reported in NAZCA.

We have added the new cooperate initiative: Net-Zero Asset Owners Alliance

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.
