Call to DNAs to share local stakeholder consultation practices

At its ninth session, the CMP requested the CDM Executive Board to collaborate with the Designated National Authorities Forum in collecting information on practices conducted for stakeholder consultations. With the support of the UNFCCC secretariat, this information will be published on the UNFCCC/CDM website. Under the same mandate, DNAs who wish to develop guidelines for local stakeholder consultations in their countries can request technical assistance from the secretariat.

This CMP mandate aims at improving the transparency of the CDM and at helping DNAs put in place adequate processes for complying with this important CDM requirement, as needed.

DNAs can share their local stakeholder consultation practices by sending an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Local stakeholder consultation practices could be sent either in English or in the official language of the country. Once received by the secretariat, these practices will be published on the CDM website.

Both the CDM Executive Board and the UNFCCC secretariat can provide support to those DNAs wishing to develop guidelines for local stakeholder consultations. DNAs who are interested in receiving such assistance can contact the DNA help desk by sending an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
