SUMMARY:African Climate Week 2023 | Side event 2
DESCRIPTION:Harnessing the Voluntary Carbon Market for NDC Implementation: Designated National Authority (DNA) special technical discussion \nContext and objectives: \nThis special technical discussion brought together experts\, policymakers\, and stakeholders from diverse organizations and countries. This discussion\, hosted by the DNA Forum in partnership with BMWK\, GIZ\, the West and East African Alliance on Carbon Markets and Climate Finance\, was an important opportunity for meaningful discussions\, idea exchange\, and identification of practical strategies to integrate the VCM in NDC implementation. The primary objective of the session was to explore the potential of the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) in advancing country National Determined Contributions (NDCs). \n  \nAgenda and detailed run-of-show: \nThe general details of the session are as follows: \n\nDate: 7th September 2023\nTime: 15:30-17:30\n\n  \n\n\n\nTime\nTopic\nPanelists\nGuiding questions\n\n\n15:30 – 15.40\nIntroduction + table [BOG] allocation\nModerated by: Malin Ahlberg\, BMWK\n\n\n\n15:40 – 16:10 \n10` min per topic\nPanel discussion topics  \n• Supply and demand-side – what do we need for an integer and trusting market? {SEN and WAA} \n• How should host-countries guide VCM-investors to enhance NDC-implementation? \n• How can host-countries attract private sector to engage in the VCM?\nPanelists  \n• EAA \n• WAA \n• Ghana/Kenya \n• VCMi \n• Ind. crediting mechanism\, e.g.\, GS Moderated\nGuiding questions can be same as in the BOGs below…\n\n\n16:10 – 17:00\nDiscussion break out groups\n \n\n\n\n\nBOG 1\n \n\n\n\n07:15-07:20 \n(5 mins)\nSupply and demand side – what do we need for a trusting market?  \nObjectives  \nDiscussions explore the supply and demand-side dynamics of the VCM and the essential components necessary to foster integrity and trustworthiness of the VCM.\nModerated by: Stephan Hoch\, Perspectives \nCo-hosted by: GIZ\n1.     How can we ensure transparency and credibility in the VCM to build trust among buyers and sellers of carbon credits? \n2.     How can we establish effective and credible Measurement\, Reporting\, and Verification (MRV) mechanisms in the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) to ensure the reliability and authenticity of carbon credits? \n \n\n\n\nBOG 2\n\n\n\n\n\nHow should host-countries guide VCM-investors to enhance NDC-implementation?  \nObjectives  \nThis topic explores strategies and best practices for host countries to attract and engage VCM-investors in projects that align with their NDC goals and priorities. Participants examine the role of policy frameworks\, regulatory incentives\, and supportive measures that can be implemented to create an enabling environment for VCM investments.\nModerated by: [ \nCo-hosted by: BMWK (Rachel Pekker)\n1. What policy frameworks and regulatory incentives can hostcountries implement to attract and engage VCM-investors in projects that align with their National Determined Contributions (NDCs) and climate goals? \n2. How can capacity building and knowledge sharing between host-countries and VCMinvestors be fostered to create an enabling environment for VCM investments and enhance NDC implementation?\n\n\n\nBOG 3\n\n\n\n\n07:25 -07:40 \n(15 min)\nHow can host-countries attract private sector to engage in the VCM?  \nObjectives  \nThis topic speaks on how host-countries can attract and engage the private sector in VCM projects\, emphasizing the significance of an enabling investment climate\, transparent guidelines\, financial incentives\, and public-private partnerships.\nModerated by: Climate Focus \n  \nCo-hosted by: GIZ (Ritah)\n1. What strategies and financial incentives can host-countries offer to attract private businesses and industries to actively engage in VCM projects and support climate actions aligned with National Determined Contributions (NDCs)? \n2. How can public-private partnerships\, capacity building\, and knowledge sharing be leveraged to foster collaboration and trust between host-countries and private sector stakeholders\, encouraging greater participation in the VCM and the implementation of climate actions?\n\n\n17:00 – 17:20\nReport back from each BOG\nModerated by: BMWK\n\n\n\n17:20 – 17:30\nReflections and closing remarks \nModerated by:\n\n\n\n\nThe participants worked in 3-6 groups/tables for the BOGs (1-2 BOGs groups per topic).

SUMMARY:Workshop: West African Carbon Market Hub\, Abidjan
DESCRIPTION:The West African Carbon Market Hub\, took place in Abidjan from September 26th-28th and showcased the commitment of West African countries to the objectives of the Paris Agreement\, emphasizing innovative public-private partnerships to mobilize financing for GHG mitigation projects with high adaptation and sustainability impacts. Representatives from West African governments and the private sector delved into the operationalization of Article 6\, with a keen focus on the expectations for the upcoming COP in Dubai. The workshop participants investigated the country preparation for Article 6 implementation\, showcasing the collaborative efforts of West African nations in building capacity and sharing best practices. They also explored role of voluntary carbon market  in operationalizing Article 6.2 s. The workshop identified key  recommendations\, emphasizing the importance of policy and regulatory frameworks\, collaboration with the private sector\, technical advancements\, capacity building\, and an inclusive approach for equitable redistribution of carbon market revenues. \nAs part of the conference\, Climate Finance Innovators organized a workshop that tackled the urgent need for action in transitioning over 100 registered projects and Programmatic of Activities (PoA) activities in West Africa from the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) to the Article 6.4 Mechanism. As the transition procedure becomes operational in 2024\, the workshop\, moderated by Axel Michaelowa from Perspectives Climate Group\, brought together government representatives from East and West Africa and project developers to explore the opportunities of the transition of activities. The panelists delved into the perspective of project developers on Article 6.4 Mechanism\, the handling of transition requests by host countries\, and the considerations for governments in authorizing Article 6.4 Emission Reductions (A6.4ERs) from transitioned CDM projects. Overall\, the workshop  facilitated collaboration and addressed challenges in the transition process\, fostering a deeper understanding of the needs and expectations of all stakeholders involved.
