Submission to annotated agenda for the 89th CDM Executive Board meeting 9-13 May 2016, Germany

Carbon Market Watch opposes a proposed simplified inclusion process for automatically additional microscale CPAs, arguing that shifting validation responsibilities to the verifying Designated Operational Entity (DOE) undermines local stakeholder consultations. The organization also requests that the Board address stakeholder comments concerning human rights issues, specifically citing the Barro Blanco project.

• Carbon Market Watch argues that the proposed simplified inclusion process for automatically additional microscale CPAs would effectively remove the detailed validation process by a Designated Operational Entity (DOE) before registration, replacing it with a checklist reviewed by the UNFCCC secretariat.
• The organization contends that shifting the responsibility for validating local stakeholder consultations from the validating DOE to the verifying DOE is problematic because remote verification methods, such as phone or video calls, are insufficient for assessing local dynamics and may be unavailable in many areas.
• Carbon Market Watch requests that the CDM Executive Board include an action item to address stakeholder comments regarding human rights issues, specifically mentioning that such comments have been made regarding the Barro Blanco project.
