• From a single internationally accepted mechanism based on

projects to a diversity of initiatives:

• More diverse in nature - projects/policies

• Regional, National and Sub National actions

• Have different timeframes- short vs very long

• One sector or multi sectorial

• Bottom-up approach under the umbrella of individual NDC

• Building on future interpretations of Paris Agreement articles 6.2

and 6.4

• Multiple market instruments.

• Inclusive• Transparent• Efficient • And has

environmental integrity.

Innovating and building readiness for climate action, including carbonpricing instruments

Enabling scale-up of climate actions such as carbon pricing mechanisms

Networked Carbon Markets (NCM) Initiative

The Networked Carbon Markets initiative forms part of the WBG’s long term efforts to promote carbon pricing

End Goal: A connected international carbon market that is:

PROMOTING THE CASE AND EVIDENCE BASE FOR CARBON PRICINGe.g., Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition; State and Trends of Carbon Pricing reports

MRV- assessment of mitigation actions

• MRV requirements and tools:• Suitable to a diverse range of programs• Different users• Provide more information• Broader scope- SD

• Requirements at UNFCCC level to be defined• Basic principles will remain- conservativeness, accuracy,

transparency, traceability, etc.• Mitigation Actions Assessment Protocol (MAAP Tool)

• Quantitative assessment of level of development / risk areas for implementation for crediting mitigation actions

• Assess environmental integrity + Government Priorities + Sust Development• Promotes continuous improvement and benchmarking• Provides a technical input to the new concept of Mitigation Value

7

A key tool for achieving transparency in the design and implementation of mitigation actions is the Mitigation Action Assessment Protocol (MAAP)

• In December 2015, the MAAP was applied in Peru to compare and prioritize Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) for its Partnership for Market Readiness (PMR) proposal.

• Mitigation actions chosen: NAMA Waste, NAMA Cement, and Mitigation Measure of photovoltaic distributed generation.

• The participatory nature of the assessment proved useful to identify areas of improvement.

• Next Step: Explore possibility of using the MAAP as one of the mainstays of a future Mitigation Action Registry in Peru.

17

• In February 2016, the NCM Initiative conducted field visits to the municipalities of Phitsanulok and Pak Kret to apply the MAAP to evaluate and compare Low-Carbon Cities (LCC) programs.

• The MAAP, as well as the findings of the field visits, were presented at a multi-stakeholder workshop in Bangkokorganized in collaboration with the Thai Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (TGO).

• Next step: TGO has expressed interest in scaling up the application of the MAAP to 100 low-carbon city activities in Thailand.
