Sustainable development guiding tools for DNAs

DNAs who wish to receive assistance in monitoring sustainable development benefits of CDM projects and programmes of activities (PoAs) registered in their territory can submit a request to the UNFCCC secretariat. The CDM Executive Board has been mandated by a CMP decision to develop guiding tools for DNAs who might be interested in receiving such assistance. In recognizing that the use of such guiding tools is the prerogative of Parties, the CDM Executive Board offers such assistance upon the request of host Parties and on a voluntary basis. This CMP mandate aims at assisting host Parties to monitor the sustainable development benefits of CDM project activities and programmes of activities (PoAs) in their territory, thereby improving the reputation of the CDM and enhancing the transparency of the sustainable development aspect of the mechanism. DNAs who wish to benefit from the assistance available can submit a request to the DNA help desk by sending an email to DNA_Helpdesk@unfccc.int
