Dear Friends                               27 November 2009

You are cordially invited to an informal event hosted by the UNEP Risoe Centre the 10th December 7pm-10pm in the old town centre: Store Kannikestræde 19, 1st floor. We are launching our two new publications on  Programmatic CDM.

Perspectives Series 2009 Feature Publication:

‘NAMAs and the Carbon Market – Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions of developing countries’

The annual CD4CDM Perspectives Series features a topic of pivotal importance to the global carbon market. The series seeks to communicate the diverse insights and visions of leading actors in the emerging global carbon market to better inform the decisions of professionals and policy makers. NAMAs and the Carbon Market explores how mitigation actions in developing countries in the context of sustainable development may be supported by technology, financing and capacity development in a measurable, reportable and verifiable manner. The aim is to present new ideas and solutions with a focus on the role of existing and emerging carbon markets to finance NAMAs. Eight authors with a background as negotiators representing developing countries, Designated National Authorities, business and researchers cover two overall issues: 1) national and policy perspectives and 2) the carbon market for sectors including sector approaches in transport, buildings and industry.

Last year’s edition of Perspectives in 2008 was titled ‘A Reformed CDM – Including new Mechanisms for Sustainable Development’ and the first edition was issued in 2007 with the title ‘Equal Exchange: Determining a Fair Price for Carbon’. The Perspectives series can be downloaded from www.cd4cdm.org
