Decisions by the CMP The COP/MOP (CMP) has authority over, and provides guidance to the Executive Board of the CDM (the Board) through the adoption of decisions and resolutions, published in reports of the CMP, usually under the title of “Further guidance relating to the clean development mechanism”.
EB reports to the CMP The Board supervises the CDM but is fully accountable to the CMP. As such, the Board reports on its activities at every session of the COP/MOP, through a report “Annual report of the Executive Board of the clean development mechanism to the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol”.
EB Documentation - Decisions and rulings of the Board, providing authority over the business activities and processes of the CDM, are published in their meeting reports and report annexes. Rapid access to the Board’s regulatory decisons is currently provided through these key document types:
      Standards Standards describe mandatory levels or degrees of attainment or performance, designed to achieve a uniform approach to compliance with decisions from the CMP relating to the CDM project activity cycle. Note: The Validation and Verification manual (VVM) is currently listed under this section. Approved methodologies can be accessed from the methodologies section of this web site.
      Procedures Procedures contain mandatory series of actions that must be undertaken to satisfy specific requirements of the CDM modalities and procedures.
      Guidelines Guidelines contain supplemental information such as acceptable methods for satisfying requirements described in procedures or standards.
      Clarifications Clarifications are issued to alleviate confusion that has arisen relating to a standard or procedure and also be located within the main body of the meeting report.
      Tools Tools are used to calculate, determine, demonstrate, estimate, identify and/or test information relating to a CDM project activity and is usually referenced in a standard or a form. When referenced, all or specified components of the tool are required and mandatory.
      Forms Forms facilitate the submission of data or information required in a recurring, standardized business process within the CDM project cycle.
      Information Notes Information notes are messages containing facts relating to a particular subject including the calendar of upcoming meetings, budget information, work programmes, policy frameworks and other information of an operational or administrative nature. Additionally, information notes are used to supply information regarding rulings of the Board relating to registration and issuance.
      Recommendations Recommendations from the Board to the COP/MOP are included in the annual report to the COP/MOP, but recent recommendations are also located here for quick reference.
