The Project Developer Forum (PD Forum) is a collaborative association and collective voice of companies and practitioners that are developing and financing greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction projects in all regions of our globe.
The accumulation of in-depth technical knowledge and broad experience that our members have with global instruments such as the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), Voluntary Standards and Climate Finance, as well as with country specific initiatives, make PD Forum a unique platform and stakeholder for discussions around the reform of existing, and the creation of new policies and mechanisms to mitigate climate change. Based on our long term experience we are analysing the development of the rules and procedures arising from the Paris Agreement for new Sustainable Development Mechanisms under Article 6 and we are informing how these regulations may fit to Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) and Voluntary Carbon Markets (VCM).
We are writing to express our support for the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for the recent consideration to include the use of environmental certificates in Scope 3 reporting.
Efforts to agree global carbon market rules took a significant step forward this week, at the Conference of Parties (COP) 29 in Baku, Azerbaijan.
The project entails the local manufacturing of enhanced cookstoves and provision of briquettes made from renewable biomass to canteens in Burundi's schools. This initiative aims to transition from reliance on non-renewable logged trees to a sustainable energy source. This project was facilitated by AREA.
We support the aims of the IEA’s ‘Vision for Clean Cooking Access for All’, in particular the recognition of carbon markets as a crucial financing mechanism to achieve these aims.
We hold weekly calls on Wednesdays at 1 pm GMT. Call-in details and agenda are distributed before the call. Minutes are sent out shortly after the call.
We have a flexible working group structure, depending on the current regulatory and market issues.
