Development of
procedures on JI PoA
History
Decision 5/CMP.4
In paragraph 6, the CMP requested the JISC “to develop, as soon as
possible, definitions, forms, guidelines and procedures for projects
under programmes of activities implemented under the verification
procedure under the Committee, bearing in mind the work of the
Executive Board of the clean development mechanism in this area”.
Decision at JISC 14
–
Develop guidance on programmes of activities under the Track 2
procedure
Decision at JISC 15
–
–
–
Draft guidance amended
Public call on the draft guidance
Revision of the provisions for the charging of fees
Development of
procedures on JI PoA
Public call
– Definition of JI PoA - broader boundary: “technical characteristics of
JPA”, “time period”, implementing institutions”
– Any participating entity can be designated for communication with
the JISC
– Small Scale: possibility to have SSC for JI PoA, ensure same
simplified approaches as for JI SSC
– Baseline setting and monitoring: possibility to use different
technologies and different baselines
– Additionality: should be demonstrated only on JI PoA level
– Inclusion of JPAs: coordinating entity should be responsible for
checking the eligibility requirements
– Verification of JI PoA: no specific frequencies
– Fees: no associated fees for JPAs or the fees should be kept low

Definition
– JI PoA: coordinated action by private or public entity that implements
a policy, measure or stated goal and is comprised of one or more JI
programme activity(ies) (JPA(s)) that have been or will be replicated
using the same methodology or set of methodologies for baseline
setting and monitoring applied in the initial JPA(s)
– JPA: is a single measure or a set of interrelated measures that result
in reduction of anthropogenic emissions by sources or enhancement
of anthropogenic removals by sinks that are additional to any that
would otherwise occur

Provisions for the charging of
fees
procedures on JI PoA
2 options for fees for processing the verification:
– Similar approach to normal JI projects: USD 0.10 for the first 15,000
tonnes of CO2 equivalent and USD 0.20 for any amount in excess of
15,000
– Simplified approach: USD 0.10 only for the tonnes of CO2 equivalent
reduced
The advance fee payment should follow one of the rates for the fee
for processing the verification (based on the expected average
emission reduction in a given calendar year)
Fee for inclusion of JPA:
– USD 0.10 (based on the expected average emission
reduction in a given calendar year)
