Paryavaran Mitra
5 March 2012: The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Executive Board
has launched five calls for public inputs on various matters. The
calls were launched following the 66th meeting of the Board, during
which it agreed to seek public inputs on specific issues relating to
the operation of the CDM.
The first is a call for input on draft best practices examples,
focusing on sample size and reliability calculations. The second call
is for input on the draft revised methodology titled “Demand-side
energy efficiency activities for specific technologies.” The third
call is for public input on the draft new methodology titled “Energy
efficiency and/or energy supply projects in commercial buildings.” The
fourth is a call for input on the definition of “special
underdeveloped zones,” including options to simplify the definition,
taking into account the availability of data at the regional and
provincial levels within a host country. The final call is for public
input on the draft methodological tool titled “Upstream leakage
emissions associated with fossil fuel use.”
All of the calls are open until 5 April 2012. [Calls for Public Inputs]
