Re: Procedures, mechanisms and institutional arrangements under the CMP to allow for appeals against CDM Executive Board decisions

The statement outlines requirements for a fair appeals process for CDM Executive Board decisions, emphasizing the need for an independent appeals body, broad legal standing for civil society organizations, and the ability to challenge both procedural and substantive violations.

• The appeals body must be governed by rules, procedures, and codes of conduct and ethics to ensure it remains independent, competent, impartial, and accountable.
• Legal standing for appeals should be broad, specifically allowing civil society organizations (CSOs) with environmental goals to represent the public, as the environment is a general public good.
• Grounds for appeals should cover decisions to approve projects, procedural and substantive violations, and instances where a Designated Operational Entity (DOE) may have failed its duties.
• The timeframe for filing appeals should remain open if new, material facts emerge showing a CDM project fails to meet core requirements.
