I. What is meant bysustainable development
![Page 9: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Bruntland Commission(World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987)
• Source of the working definition to evaluate sustainable development impacts of CDM projects
• Bruntland Commission definition– Much more focused and applicable to CDM
projects– Consistent with Philippine Agenda 21
definition
![Page 10: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Bruntland Commission(World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987)
• “Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”
![Page 11: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Bruntland Commission(World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987)
“It contains within it two key concepts:
• “the concept of ‘needs’, in particular of the world’s poor, to which overriding priority should be given, and
• “the idea of limitations imposed by the state of technology and social organization on the environment’s ability to meet present and future needs.”
![Page 12: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Bruntland Commission(World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987)
Sustainable development involves two obligations:
• Obligation to the future Sustainability
• Obligation to the present Poverty alleviation
![Page 13: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Achieving Sustainable Development
• Sustainable development is about creating capacities for raising per capita well being, living standards, quality of life
• Capacities determined by the stocks of assets which can be converted to goods and services which contributes to “well being”
![Page 14: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Assets

![Page 15: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Capital Assets
K = KM + KN + KH + KS
• K → Total Capital
• KM → Manufactured Capital
• KN → Natural Capital
• KH → Human Capital
• KS → Social Capital
![Page 16: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
KM: Manufactured Capital
• Equipment, machinery, factories, technology, infrastructure
• More capital equipment will, typically, raise the productive capacity of the population and hence their real incomes
![Page 17: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
KN: Natural Capital
• Environmental assets such as clean water and air, soil, forests, etc.
• More environmental assets in the form of clean water, clean air, biomass resources and improved soil will help to reduce the incidence of disease, raise agricultural productivity and ensure fuel supplies.
![Page 18: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
KH: Human Capital
• Education, health
• The more education there is, the better are the prospects for raising living standards, including health
![Page 19: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
KS: Social Capital
• Set of social relationships that hold communities together
• The more socially cohesive are communities, the more likely they are to organize themselves for the collective good
![Page 20: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Obligation to the Future
• Sustainability
• Sustainable development is about future well being
• Leave to future generations the capacity to be as well off as we are
![Page 21: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Obligation to the Present
• Sustainable development is about well being now
• It is about poverty alleviation
• The poor cannot raise their own well being without better provision of assets and technology
![Page 22: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
II. How a CDM project can contribute to sustainable
development
![Page 23: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Types of CDM project impacts on sustainable development
1. Economic Impacts
2. Environmental Impacts
3. Impacts on disadvantaged groups
![Page 24: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Economic impacts
CDM project can contribute to sustainable development
• By providing gains to manufactured capital– i.e. transfer of technology or building
infrastructure, improving efficiency
• By improving social and human capital– Through the creation of sustainable
employment, the raising of living standards, the transfer of knowledge
![Page 25: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Economic impacts
• Direct impacts of CDM project– Gains: introduces new technology, builds
capacity– Loses: restricts economically productive
activities
• Indirect impacts of CDM project– Gains: stimulates greater economic activity or
greater efficiency in other areas of production– Loses: other areas dependent on activity
restricted by project
![Page 26: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Environmental impacts
CDM project can contribute to sustainable development
• By improving on environmental assets– e.g., by preserving biodiversity, improving
local air quality
• By minimizing negative impacts on the environment
![Page 27: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Environmental impacts
• Aside from reduction of GHG emissions, a CDM project may have accompanying environmental impacts
• Because of the CDM project, environmental quality may improve or deteriorate
• These changes may result directly from the project or indirectly through the ramifications of the project elsewhere
![Page 28: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Impacts on disadvantaged groups
CDM project can be judged consistent with sustainable development
• If the gains from the project be distributed in a manner which does not disadvantage the poor
• If the project helps alleviate poverty
![Page 29: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Impacts on disadvantaged groups
• Maximize the gains and minimize the loses experienced by the most disadvantaged groups (e.g., indigenous people, rural poor, landless farmers, etc)
• Impact on employment opportunities and incomes for the poor and disadvantaged
• Impact on traditional rights and social fabric of local communities
![Page 30: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
III. Categorization of Economic Impacts
![Page 31: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Productivity gains
• Increase in productive efficiency– CDM projects, especially those involving technology
transfer or capacity building, may increase the efficiency in which the flow of goods and services can be produced
• E.g., supply side energy efficiency projects
• Exploitation of new productive possibilities– CDM project introduces new productive possibilities
• E.g., waste-to-energy projects; ash from rice husk for cement
![Page 32: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Productivity loses
• Reduced productive efficiency (output forgone)– Productive processes may be changed or altered to
reduce GHG emissions– Such changes may reduce the productive efficiency
with which output is generated• E.g., changes in type of fertilizer used
• Productive possibilities foregone– Project may displace or prohibit certain productive
activities• E.g., prohibition of certain land management practices
![Page 33: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Positive spillovers
• Efficiency gains– Efficiencies demonstrated in the CDM project may
encourage the adoption of the same new technologies and/or practices in similar activities
• E.g., end-use energy efficiency projects
• Complementary activities– CDM project may encourage the expansion of other
complementary activities• E.g., reforestation and eco-tourism• E.g., geothermal and hot springs spas
![Page 34: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Negative spillovers
• When a CDM project involves the restriction or prohibition of a productive activity then other economic activities dependent on the complementary activity may be adversely affected– E.g., fuel switching from kerosene to solar
technology may depress the demand for kerosene lamps
![Page 35: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
IV. Categorization of Environmental Impacts
(Non-GHG)
![Page 36: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Air pollution
• E.g., Fuel switching in transport sector– Increased use of natural gas will not only
reduce CO2 emissions but also reduce the emission of air pollutants including NOX, SOX, PM
![Page 37: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Water pollution
• E.g., Fuel switching in rural areas– A project introducing renewable energy
generation in rural households (e.g. solar electric technology) will displace the use of dry cell batteries to run electric appliances
– Project may reduce the heavy metal water contamination associated with the improper disposal of such batteries
![Page 38: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Soil conservation
• Restriction of production– A project which seeks to reduce artificial
fertilizer production (a process resulting in CO2 emissions) by encouraging the use of natural organic fertilizers should at the same time improve the properties of the soil being treated
![Page 39: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Watershed protection
• E.g. reforestation– Projects that re-establish forests in upland
areas will improve watershed integrity
![Page 40: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Biodiversity conservation
• E.g. monocultural tree plantations– would be downgraded because of the
potential damage to biodiversity
![Page 41: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
V. Categorization of impacts on disadvantaged groups
![Page 42: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Increasing productive efficiency
• Through technology transfer, a CDM project may focus on increasing the efficiency of household processes and livelihoods.
• Projects that provide cheaper energy options or increase the agricultural output of households of disadvantaged groups
• E.g., fuel switching in rural areas
![Page 43: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Improved employment opportunities or livelihood options
• New employment opportunities for local people and disadvantaged groups may arise as a result of CDM project activities– E.g., construction of new facilities, operation
of new facilities in renewable energy generation
• New livelihood options for local people and disadvantaged groups– E.g., collection of biomass for conversion to
energy
![Page 44: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Reduced livelihood opportunities or livelihood options
• A CDM project may reduce the employment and livelihood opportunities to local people and disadvantaged groups– E.g., closed sanitary landfill for methane
capture may restrict scavenging opportunities
![Page 45: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Land and resource rights
• CDM projects may remove the legal and customary land and resource use rights of local communities– E.g. Afforestation projects may remove
customary rights of indigenous peoples over forest land
– E.g. Building of dams for generation of hydroelectric power may displace disadvantaged groups living in local communities
![Page 46: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Environmental impacts
• A CDM project may have a number of environmental impacts (as outlined in Part IV) some of which may be specifically incurred by disadvantaged groups– E.g. Replacement of coal-fired boilers which
cause considerable local air pollution with cleaner technology will reduce local air pollution
![Page 47: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Positive spillovers
• A CDM project may have a demonstration effect that encourages similar enterprises in other areas that will themselves generate employment or livelihood opportunities for disadvantaged groups– E.g., introduction of pico hydro technology
may provide training and technical assistance in the technology for certain individuals who can make the technology available to a much wider community
![Page 48: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Positive spillovers
• Local multipliers: Local people and disadvantaged groups may benefit indirectly from the improvements in infrastructure and increased economic activity that results from a CDM project’s investments and activities– E.g. provision of reliable energy in a rural area
could spur economic activity and generate employment and livelihood opportunities
![Page 49: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Negative spillovers
• Local stagnation: CDM projects that prohibit or restrict some activities may be in danger of irrevocably undermining local communities.
• The employment and income provided by such activities may be fundamental to the functioning of the local community.– E.g., afforestation restricting slash-and-burn
farming
![Page 50: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Negative spillovers
• Income effects: CDM projects that increase the prices of goods that form a large part of the expenditure of disadvantaged groups will impact directly on their well-being– E.g. CDM project increases the price of
energy (e.g., photovoltaics more expensive than kerosene) or food stuffs (e.g., organic more expensive than non-organic)
![Page 51: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS for CDM Projects DENR Training Course November 4-6, 2003 Climate Change Information Center Manila Observatory Ateneo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e255503460f94b141f7/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

Economic impacts
Direct project impacts• Productivity gains (+)
– Increase in productive efficiency– Exploitation of new productive possibilities
• Productivity losses (opportunity costs) (-)– Reduced productive efficiency– Productive possibilities foregone
Indirect impacts• Positive spillovers (+)
– Efficiency gains– Complementary activities
• Negative spillovers (-)

Reducing negative impacts
• Measures must be proposed to minimize or to mitigate the negative impacts of CDM projectsFor social acceptabilityFor national approval

Environmental Compliance Certificate
• Procuring the required ECC is a process by which sustainable development impacts will be identified through stakeholder consultations
• And also identify the measures which will minimize negative impacts
• A potential CDM project is a project with an ECC
