The World Bank e-Institute Course title: Clean Development Mechanisms and Joint Implementation: Navigating the Kyoto Project-Based Mechanisms Course description: The Kyoto Protocol requires countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. To help countries achieve their emission reduction targets, the Kyoto Protocol introduced two market based mechanisms: The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and the Joint Implementation (JI). CDM allows a country, firm, or individual to implement projects that reduce or remove emissions in developing countries and to earn certified emission reduction credits. The CDM is meant to stimulate sustainable development and emission reductions in developing countries, while giving industrialised countries some economic flexibility in how they meet their emission reduction or limitation targets. JI allows a country, firm, or individual to implement an emission reduction project and earn emission reduction units that can be sold. The main difference between the CDM and JI lies in their application, as JI projects can only be hosted by developed countries. Outcomes: The course will enable participants to: • Understand all aspects of the Kyoto Protocol’s project based mechanisms • Understand the governance of these mechanisms • Start a CDM or JI project • Understand the CDM and JI Project Cycles and corresponding rules and procedures Delivery method: Online Fees: $ 400 USD (facilitated); free of charge (self-paced) Web address: http://einstitute.worldbank.org/ei/course/clean-development-mechanisms-and-jointimplementation-navigating-kyoto-project-based-mechanis Course contact: WBI Climate Change Practice wbicc@worldbank.org

The World Bank e-Institute Course title: CDM Programme of Activities: Challenges and Opportunities Course description: Programmatic CDM is a tool to fund and structure large umbrella programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Programs of Activities (PoA) consists of activities that would have been difficult, costly and time-consuming to develop under a project-byproject basis. The PoA approach broadens the scope of use of carbon finance as a tool to reduce emissions. Programmatic CDM also increases the chances of small and poor countries to access the carbon finance market while supporting their development goals. In these countries, single projects are often too small to be commercially attractive. As a consequence, many small and poor countries are not benefiting from the CDM at the moment. WBI strengthens developing countries’ capabilities to enable their effective participation in a global carbon market. Outcomes: Specific learning objectives of the e-Learning course on CDM PoA include: • Understand the Rationale for Developing PoA (why PoA?) • Understand Rules and Structure (what PoA?) • Identify Potential Sectors where PoA can be effectively applied (where PoA?) • Understand Financial Issues and Contractual Arrangements (how PoA?) • Identify possible linkages with other policy instruments.
