Regional disparity of CERs:
Not as bad as it seems?
We should expect to see disparities, based on disparities in GDP and population (proxies
for project opportunities)

• May 2005: prices at EUR 5 – 9
• March 2006:– Category 4 transactions as high as EUR 28– Basic registered projects – up to EUR 20– Validated, some credit risk – EUR 11 – 12
CER Prices Much Higher
![Page 13: Defining and Measuring the Development Dividend Meeting of the Expert Task Force of the IISD Development Dividend Project March 27-28, 2006 Vancouver Aaron.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56649e9e5503460f94ba0a38/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Quantity: – 0.84 billion CERs in the pipeline. – Predicted demand for AAUs of 4-5 billion. – Post-2012 uncertainty means CER supply will taper off.
• Equity:– Not critically flawed – probably better to focus on overall quality
of SD benefits in CDM.
• Quality:– Half of all CERs in pipeline are HFC and N2O– Increase in unilateral CDM, possible programmatic CDM– High prices may allow more quality projects.– In the end we do not know.
Is the CDM Delivering the Development Dividend?
![Page 14: Defining and Measuring the Development Dividend Meeting of the Expert Task Force of the IISD Development Dividend Project March 27-28, 2006 Vancouver Aaron.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56649e9e5503460f94ba0a38/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Why do it? – CDM quality is the key to solving to the quantity
problem.– Our recommendations for change need the
foundation of a development orientation.– The only way to demonstrate that is by
measuring, assessing, projects (ongoing and proposed).
Assessing the Development Dividend
![Page 15: Defining and Measuring the Development Dividend Meeting of the Expert Task Force of the IISD Development Dividend Project March 27-28, 2006 Vancouver Aaron.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56649e9e5503460f94ba0a38/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• How to do it? – First, need to establish what the tool will be used
for. Who might use it?• Buyers:
– Regulated market and voluntary markets– Government, IGOs and private sector
• Host countries (DNAs)• International policy community
Assessing the Development Dividend
![Page 16: Defining and Measuring the Development Dividend Meeting of the Expert Task Force of the IISD Development Dividend Project March 27-28, 2006 Vancouver Aaron.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56649e9e5503460f94ba0a38/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Qualitative threshold tests– DNAs in India, Brazil, China, others
• Discrimination by project type:– China, Columbia regulations– Premium payments by World Bank, CERUPT
• Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA)– SSN Matrix/Gold Standard, CCB standards – Various researchers, analysts
Current Models for Assessment
![Page 17: Defining and Measuring the Development Dividend Meeting of the Expert Task Force of the IISD Development Dividend Project March 27-28, 2006 Vancouver Aaron.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56649e9e5503460f94ba0a38/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Strengths and Weaknesses
• Qualitative threshold tests– Simple to specify– Amenable to country-specific circumstances– Too subjective– Unable to compare projects to one another– Useful for DNAs, not for others
![Page 18: Defining and Measuring the Development Dividend Meeting of the Expert Task Force of the IISD Development Dividend Project March 27-28, 2006 Vancouver Aaron.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56649e9e5503460f94ba0a38/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Strengths and Weaknesses
• Project-based discrimination– Simple to administer– Able to rank projects, but not within project
types– Fails to capture differences between projects
of given project types– Useful for buyers, DNAs
![Page 19: Defining and Measuring the Development Dividend Meeting of the Expert Task Force of the IISD Development Dividend Project March 27-28, 2006 Vancouver Aaron.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56649e9e5503460f94ba0a38/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Strengths and Weaknesses
• Multi-criteria analysis– Able to rank projects against one another– Can be modified to adapt to local priorities– Complex system: choosing criteria, weighting– Information demands are daunting– Useful to buyers, international policy
community
![Page 20: Defining and Measuring the Development Dividend Meeting of the Expert Task Force of the IISD Development Dividend Project March 27-28, 2006 Vancouver Aaron.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56649e9e5503460f94ba0a38/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Proposed Assessment Tool• “Hybrid” MCA/project type system (with criteria,
indicators) applied to project methodologies.• Use elements of existing tools for their specific
strengths (e.g., CCB for LULUCF)• Four criteria: social, economic, environmental,
integrated• Base score assigned as per methodology, bonus
points assigned as per PDD
![Page 21: Defining and Measuring the Development Dividend Meeting of the Expert Task Force of the IISD Development Dividend Project March 27-28, 2006 Vancouver Aaron.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56649e9e5503460f94ba0a38/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Proposed Assessment Tool
• Threshold requirement: balance among environmental, social, economic criteria
• Limited number of indicators, some qualitative
• Narrow range of scoring for each indicator (e.g., 1 – 5)
![Page 22: Defining and Measuring the Development Dividend Meeting of the Expert Task Force of the IISD Development Dividend Project March 27-28, 2006 Vancouver Aaron.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56649e9e5503460f94ba0a38/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Weaknesses
• Insensitive to country-specific circumstances
• Accounting for project size may be difficult
• How to monitor “bonus undertakings”?
• Labour intensive to create: needs extensive stakeholder involvement, applies to large number of meths
![Page 23: Defining and Measuring the Development Dividend Meeting of the Expert Task Force of the IISD Development Dividend Project March 27-28, 2006 Vancouver Aaron.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56649e9e5503460f94ba0a38/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
What Level of Ambition?
• Wide range of possibilities for an assessment tool, with attendant range of necessary commitment of resources.
• What would the tool be used for, and by whom?
