CDM WATCH RESPONSE TO CALL FOR PUBLIC INPUTS ON ISSUES TO BE ADDRESSED IN THE CDM POLICY DIALOGUE

CDM Watch urges the CDM policy dialogue panel to reassess project eligibility to ensure contributions to a low carbon economy and to improve stakeholder involvement and transparency. The submission highlights the need to maintain environmental integrity across co-existing market mechanisms and specifically identifies issues such as additionality, HFC-23 abatement, and human rights for address.

• CDM Watch argues that the CDM policy dialogue must evaluate the mechanism's role in limiting temperature increases to 2°C and determine which project types are appropriate for a low carbon economy.
• The organization emphasizes the need for improved stakeholder engagement, particularly for local communities, and the establishment of a grievance mechanism during the operational phase of the more than 5,000 projects currently in the pipeline.
• CDM Watch identifies several critical technical and social issues for the panel to address, including additionality, standardisation, HFC-23 abatement, human rights, and the environmental integrity of co-existing market mechanisms.
