United Nations Climate Change Strategies

UNFCCC Adopted in1992, Came into effect on March 21, 1994. 192 state parties

Spirit of the Convention: States parties to undertake common but differentiated responsibilities

“cost effective” and “lowest cost” to control climate change and promote sustainable economic development

United Nations Climate Change Strategies

Kyoto Protocol Adopted in 1997, Came into effect on Feb. 16, 2005. 191 state parties

Objective: Global atmospheric CO2 concentration to be stabilized at 550ppm by 2100.

2008-2012 emission of Annex 1 countries to be returned to less than 5.2% of the emissions in 1990

United Nations Climate Change StrategiesThe Mechanisms (Flexible) under the Kyoto Protocolo Clean Development Mechanism (CDM): allows a

country with an emission-reduction or emission-limitation commitment under the Kyoto Protocol (Annex B Party) to implement an emission-reduction project in developing countries.

o Joint Implementation (JI): a country with an emission reduction or limitation commitment under the Kyoto Protocol (Annex B party) to earn emission reduction units (ERUs) from an emission-reduction or emission removal project in Annex B Party.

o Emissions Trading (ETS): Parties with commitments under the Kyoto Protocol (Annex B Parties) have accepted targets for limiting or reducing emissions

Purpose of GHG Accreditation and Validation/Verification

Accreditation Third party attestation related to a conformity assessment body conveying formal recognition of its competence to carry out specific conformity assessment tasks (ISO 17011)

Verification for organizational inventory

Systematic, independent and documented process for the evaluation of a greenhouse gas assertion against agreed verification criteria (ISO 14064-3)

Validation for GHG reduction project

Systematic, independent and documented process for the evaluation of a greenhouse gas assertion in a GHG project plan against agreed validation criteria (ISO 14064-3)

Verification for GHG reduction project

Systematic, independent and documented process for the evaluation of a greenhouse gas assertion in a GHG project monitoring report against agreed verification criteria (ISO 14064-3)
