PUBLICATIONS : The Handbook for Programmes of Activities: practical guidance to successful implementation

Climate Focus presents the Handbook for Programmes of Activities: a comprehensive publication that assists PoA practitioners with practical and organizational aspects of PoA development. PoA practitioners all over the world face similar challenges on setting-up, organizing and implementing a PoA.The Handbook for Programmes of Activities brings together the experience of the pioneers in the carbon market and provides hands-on guidance on how to deal with the crucial aspects and operation of a PoA.

The Handbook applies to programmatic approaches in the CDM, JI, and voluntary carbon standards, and offers valuable background information for any future sectoral approach that focuses on the dissemination of many small-scale emission reduction applications. The Handbook was designed to complement and build on existing publications on PoAs. It has been prepared with the support of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU), CDC Climat, the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB), and UNEP Risoe.
