Factors for
Success/Slackness of
Implementation
Factors for Success
• Growing awareness and interest in the CDM,
particularly of the Private Sector, Research
and Educational Institutions and the
Government
• Partnerships with other institutions that are
also interested in fostering CDM
• New venues for advocacy and research on
CDM trends and issues
Factors for Slackness
• Delays in the establishment of the Philippine
DNA
– Absence of structure and guidelines for project
developers to effectively address country
requirements
– Capacity Building for government personnel who
will constitute the technical committees
• Risks associated with the Kyoto Protocol and
the CDM
Specific Barriers/Hurdles
to
Effective Implementation
Specific Barriers/Hurdles
• Time constraints associated with DNA
establishment
• Archipelagic nature of the Philippines
– Need to reach more stakeholders outside Metro
Manila, especially in areas that pose significant
potential for CDM projects
• Consensus among government, private sectors,
NGOs, research and academic institutions and
other stakeholders on CDM priorities for the
country
Specific Barriers/Hurdles
• Ensuring sustainable development benefits for
the social acceptability of projects
• High transactions cost associated with CDM
projects, especially small-scale projects
• Context specific information on feasible
technologies appropriate to the Philippine
setting
Options to Address
Barriers/Hurdles
Addressing Barriers/Hurdles
• Take on steps to fast-track establishment of the
Philippine DNA
– Consultation meetings with stakeholders on the
operational framework of the DNA
• Regional Thrusts
– Reach out to stakeholders in other regions of the
country…
– … through briefings, training, and workshops to
develop their capacities to avail of the opportunities
offered by CDM
Addressing Barriers/Hurdles
• Collaboration with various CDM stakeholders to
devise ways to lessen transaction costs
associated with CDM projects
• Collaboration with institutions to promote the
goals of CDM and ensure that its
implementation is consistent with its goals
Ensuring a balance between rigid compliance
procedures of the government and the costs
associated with its compliance to the project
proponents
Addressing Barriers/Hurdles
• Develop technical skills which are required and
appropriate to develop the specific capacities of
various stakeholders
– Promote research from academic institutions to
enhance and devise ways to address CDM issues
– Formulate training materials tailor-fitted to the needs
of policy makers to effectively address the
government’s concerns on CDM
– Sector-Specific training courses to address the
specific needs of the sectors
Activities for
Next Six Months
(April – September)
Planned Activities
• Technical Assistance to the InterAgency Committee on Climate Change
• Close coordination and active
participation on the UNDP- Dutch

– Mindanao Region – July 15-16
• Sector- Specific Training Courses
– CDM Renewable Energy Projects - April 28
– CDM Waste Management Projects – June 23

Planned Activities
• Consultation sessions/ consultancy work

institutions in the regions to actively
participate in the CDM process
