Identifying Policy Options

E-Learning Course on CDM Programme of Activities: Challenges and Opportunities

by

Programmatic CDM is a tool to fund and structure large umbrella programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. ‘Programs of Activities (PoA) consists of activities that would have been difficult, costly and time-consuming to develop under a project-by-project basis. The PoA approach broadens the scope of use of carbon finance as a tool to reduce emissions. CDM Programme of Activities: Challenges and Opportunities is delivered in four modules which take about 8 hours. It uses interactive presentations and provides discussion forums. Specific learning objectives of the e-Learning course on CDM PoA include:

Understand the Rationale for Developing PoA (why PoA?); Understand Rules and Structure (what PoA?);

Identify Potential Sectors where PoA can be effectively applied (where PoA?); Understand Financial Issues and Contractual Arrangements (how PoA?); Identify possible linkages with other policy instruments.

Economics of Climate-Resilient Development

by

This self-paced e-learning course aims to inform policy planners and climate change practitioners on the rationale behind emissions trading, how emissions trading schemes work, their key design elements, and the key roles and decisions affecting emissions-trading governance. The course provides practical knowledge and skills to: appreciate the rationale for using market-based instruments in the context of GHG mitigation; understand the key principles and design elements for emissions trading schemes; dscuss critically the important trade-offs inherent in ETS design and governance; and learn from design and implementation experiences of existing emissions trading schemes around the world.

Note: The training is also offered as a facilitated course twice annually with e-Certificates issued upon successful completion. The facilitated version features guidance of an expert facilitator to lead participants through lessons and moderate the ‘peer discussion forum’ where participants interact to share knowledge. Please visit the World Bank’s Open Learning Campus for more information.

E-Learning Course on The Clean Development Mechanism and Joint Implementation: Navigating the Kyoto Project-Based Mechanisms

by

The Kyoto Protocol requires countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. To help countries achieve their emission reduction targets, the Protocol introduced two market-based mechanisms: the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and Joint Implementation (JI). This course which provides a comprehensive overview of the CDM and JI will enable participants to: understand all aspects of the Kyoto Protocol’s project-based mechanisms; understand the governance of these mechanisms; start a CDM or JI project; and understand the CDM and JI project cycles and corresponding rules and procedures.

Emissions Trading Systems: Using Markets to Promote Low Emissions Development

by

This self-paced e-learning course provides an overview of the theory and practice of Emissions Trading Systems. It aims to inform policy planners and climate change practitioners on the rationale behind emissions trading, how emissions trading schemes work, their key design elements, and the key roles and decisions affecting emissions-trading governance. This course provides practical knowledge and skills to: appreciate the rationale for using market-based instruments in the context of GHG mitigation; understand the key principles and design elements for emissions trading schemes; discuss critically the important trade-offs inherent in ETS design and governance; and learn from design and implementation experiences of existing emissions trading schemes around the world.

Note: The training is also offered as a facilitated course twice annually with e-Certificates issued upon successful completion. The facilitated version features guidance of an expert facilitator to lead participants through lessons and moderate the ‘peer discussion forum’ where participants interact to share knowledge. Please visit the World Bank’s Open Learning Campus for more information.

 

Policy Instruments for Low Emissions Development: From Design to Implementation

by

This self-paced e-learning course discusses the rationale for Low Emissions Development policy and the expected benefits of such policies. The discussion considers both contributions to global emissions reductions and local development opportunities. The course continues with a broad overview of LED policy instruments with examples of how these instruments have been implemented worldwide, and provides policy tools and strategic guidance for identifying and selecting policy instruments suitable to specific needs. To facilitate learning, in-depth policy case studies provide participants with the opportunity to identify how policy instruments may be designed and implemented in practice.

Note: The training is also offered as a facilitated course twice annually with e-Certificates issued upon successful completion. The facilitated version features guidance of an expert facilitator to lead participants through lessons and moderate the ‘peer discussion forum’ where participants interact to share knowledge. Please visit the World Bank’s Open Learning Campus for more information.
