Adaptation fund account

Decision 17 CP/2001/13/Ad.2 states:

(a) That the share of proceeds to assist developing country Parties that are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change to meet the costs of adaptation, as referred to in Article 12, paragraph 8, of the Kyoto Protocol, shall be two per cent of the certified emission reductions issued for a clean development mechanism project activity;

(b) That clean development mechanism project activities in least developed country Parties shall be exempt from the share of proceeds to assist with the costs of adaptation;

The CDM registry has set up a dedicated account for the Adaptation Fund where the two percent of each issuance of CERs is forwarded at the time of the issuance. The work and progress of the Adaptation Fund and its Board can be followed on www.adaptation-fund.org.

Publicly available information on the amount of CERs that are deducted for the Adaptation Fund can be found in section “SOP for the Adaptation Fund” of this site.
