Executive board:
The Executive Board supervises the CDM under authority of the MoP of the
Kyoto Protocol. The EB develops the modalities and procedures for the CDM,
as well as the rules and procedures; approves new methodologies; simplifies
modalities and procedures for small-scale CDM projects; accredits and
designates OEs; develops and maintains a CDM registry; makes information
relating to CDM projects publicly available; and reports to the MoP.
Operational entities (OEs):
OEs are accredited and designated by the Executive Board based on the
accreditation standards. The OE validates proposed CDM project activities or
verifies and certifies emission reductions.
Designated National Authority (DNA):
A Designated National Authority (DNA) for CDM should be specified by all
the parties to Kyoto Protocol who participate in CDM project activities. While
the purpose of the DNAs in Annex I countries is to ensure meeting their
commitments specified in Annex B to the Kyoto Protocol and provide written
approval of voluntary participation in each CDM project activity, the DNAs in
Non-Annex I countries which are host parties have the additional responsibility
of providing host country approval and confirming that the project activity
assists the party in achieving sustainable development.
Project participants:
Project participants can either be a party participating in a CDM or public or
private entities authorized by a party to participate in CDM project activities.
Project participants usually initiate and complete measures, operations, or
actions that aim at reducing GHGs and decide on allocation of CERs.
Other stakeholders, parties, and accredited NGOs:
Stakeholders are the public, including individuals, groups, or communities who
are affected or likely to be affected by the proposed CDM activity or actions.
In the context of CDM, parties will be parties to the Kyoto Protocol. NGOs that
have been accredited by UNFCCC can also make stakeholder comments on a
CDM project activity.
