Submission: Call for input on direct communication of stakeholder groups with the Board

CDM Watch recommends several procedural improvements to the CDM Executive Board to enhance accessibility and communication for civil society, including better notification systems, language translation of project documents, and extended public commenting periods.

• CDM Watch identifies that communication between civil society and the Board primarily occurs through public participation in the CDM process cycle, but notes that "a significant number of obstacles remain within the CDM procedures."
• To improve communication and accessibility, CDM Watch proposes several technical and procedural changes, including the implementation of email notification systems for registration and methodology processes, improving the UNFCCC CDM website's user-friendliness, and translating the site into all official UN working languages.
• The submission recommends enhancing transparency and inclusivity for affected communities by providing project documents, such as the PDD and EIA, in the host country's language, allowing comments in those languages, and providing hard copies of translated PDDs.
• CDM Watch suggests expanding the window for public input by increasing commenting periods for new methodologies and large projects, allowing justified delayed submissions, and creating a mechanism for submitting project concerns at any time.
