In response to requests for capacity building, received from several Designated National Authorities (DNAs) of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), UN Climate Change’s Regional Collaboration Centres (RCCs) in Bangkok and Dubai are jointly organizing a series of DNA Virtual Workshops on topics of interest for DNAs in the region with the support of our host partners: The Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) and the World Green Economy Organization (WGEO).

Almost 50 participants from 17 countries in Asia, the Pacific, Middle East and North Africa attended the Third Episode of the DNA Webinar Series, focusing on the topic of Domestic and International Carbon Markets. The workshop was organized as a side event of the DNA Regional Forum for Asia-Pacific and MENA that was held the following day on 3 November, also exploring carbon markets in one of the sessions. While the DNA Regional Forum had presentations of the World Bank on the topic, the DNA workshop focused on the exchange of countries’ experiences with the use of carbon markets by the DNAs.

The webinar was opened with welcoming remarks from Ms. Dilruba Akter, Regional DNA co-chair from Bangladesh and the moderator Yuqing Ariel Yu from RCC Bangkok.
