Publication of the joint implementation project design document number 200

Three years after the Joint Implementation Supervisory Committee (JISC) launched its verification procedure under Track 2 the total number of published project design documents (PDDs) at the JI secretariat’s website reached 200 today.

JI PDD “0200. Griezpelkiu wind power park project” submitted by an AIE to the UNFCCC secretariat for publication marks a significant milestone for joint implementation. As of November 2009, the pipeline of active projects represents approximately 315 million tCO2-equivalent during the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol.

Paragraph 32 of the annex to decision 9/CMP.1 (JI guidelines) stipulates that, under the Track 2 procedure, accredited independent entities (AIEs) shall make JI PDDs publicly available through the secretariat, subject to confidentiality provisions, and receive comments from Parties, stakeholders and UNFCCC accredited observers for 30 days from the date the PDD is made publicly available.

The PDD for “0200. Griezpelkiu wind power park project” will be open for comments as of tomorrow, 12 November 2009 until 11 December 2009 (17:00 GMT). Project information is available on the UNFCCC JI website under <http://ji.unfccc.int/JI_Projects/DeterAndVerif/Verification/PDD/index.html>, where also detailed information on the submission of comments will be provided.

Detailed information on PDDs, project determinations and verifications of emission reductions are available under the heading “JI Projects” on the UNFCCC JI website ( www.ji.unfccc.int )
