a Estimated greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions reduced or sequestered (in metric tons of CO2 equivalent) during the lifetime of the project. Some of the values have been revised since document FCCC/CP/1998/2.



b This project absorbed two previously reported activities "CARFIX: Sustainable Forest Management" and "BIODIVERSIFIX"



c The AIJ component of this project represents only 11.8 per cent of 727 130 metric tons of CO2 equivalent reduced by the project.



d Applying an average of various scenarios regarding the level of the future market penetration of CNG buses, the annual GHG impact is estimated to be 7 400 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. (20 x 7 400 metric tons = 148 000 metric tons)

Numbers in brackets indicate the total number of activities: one afforestation, three fuel switching, one fugitive gas capture and nine energy efficiency activities have therefore not been taken into account in calculating the average GHG impact.

Annex 2



DRAFT REVISED UNIFORM REPORTING FORMAT FOR

ACTIVITIES IMPLEMENTED JOINTLY



1. The Conference of the Parties, by its decision 10/CP.3(1), adopted the uniform reporting format (URF) contained in the report of the fifth session of the SBSTA(2), and invited Parties to report in accordance with that format and to provide inputs to the secretariat on their experience in using it, so that, if necessary, changes can be incorporated.



2. The SBSTA and the SBI, at their tenth sessions, agreed that the review of the AIJ pilot phase referred to in decision 5/CP.1, paragraph 3 (b) and decision 6/CP.4 shall address several issues, including the assessment of the URF and the elaboration of options for its improvement, including a list of standardized terminology and common definitions for key terms, inter alia, related to costs, baselines, monitoring, reporting and verification (FCCC/SBSTA/1999/6). In this context, the following draft revised URF for AIJ has been prepared taking into consideration views by Parties expressed in the context of the review and the experience of the secretariat in preparing the second and third synthesis reports on the AIJ pilot phase.



3. In preparing the draft revision of the URF, consideration was given to the following issues:



(a) In order to encourage a better flow of data and to improve the user-friendliness of the reporting format, some structural changes have been made (see table with overview of suggested revisions). These were, however, kept at a minimum so as to avoid an additional reporting burden for ongoing activities and, hence, increased costs to Parties involved.



(b) In order to enhance the quality, in particular, the consistency, comparability and, hence, the analytical usefulness of data, explanations and guiding comments were added. A provision has been made for obtaining activity level and emission factor data.



(c) In order to gather additional information related to the identification of baselines, there is also a provision for more detailed reporting on "top-down", "benchmark"/"technology matrix" and "project-specific" baseline approaches, or combinations thereof.







Table: Overview of suggested revisions



URF Section Revised URF

Section

 Comments
Titles have been shortened with notes added under titles. Questions and guiding comments have been added.
A.1 B.1 No substantive change
A.2 B.2 Details of contact information are to be reported in the annex to the revised URF using a new table for contact information. A descriptor system for functions has been defined.
A.3 B.3 The table format was abandoned. Former rows in the table are now subsections. A system for categorizing projects was added (see annex 2 in revised URF). Stages of the project have been defined and new options were added. The lifetime of a project is now contained in subsection B.3.5.
A.4 E.7 Section A.4 is now section E.7 and has been completely revised. For calculations, the net present value methodology (NPV) is suggested. A new table for reporting cost information on the AIJ project is proposed. Calculations of cost per metric tons of CO2 equivalent reduced or sequestered are not being directly reported anymore, but can be computed using the information in section E. (One Party suggested that the difference in NPV of the baseline/reference case and the project case be used as an element of the calculation of cost per tons. As some of the methodologies for identifying the baseline may not lend themselves to such a calculation, this concept has not yet been represented in the revised URF.)
A.5 E.6 Subsections were added for monitoring, verification and certification with questions and guiding comments.
B A This section has been revised in light of the assumption that henceforth only joint reporting is allowed. The new section allows indicating modifications.
C. C. No change
D. and H.3 D These two sections have been merged and the table format converted into subsections. Some guiding comments were revised.
E. E. This section has been substantially revised in light of experience with, inter alia, the nature of information received through the previous format and methodological work.
E.1 E.1 Baseline/reference scenario: Subsections were added in order to structure existing and to trigger additional information (such as identifying the developer of the baseline/reference scenario; the type of approach; reasons for selecting a baseline/reference scenario; reasons for the choice of project lifetime; detailed description of calculations of GHG values including underlying assumptions etc.)
--- E.2 New subsection added allowing reporting on revisions of the baseline/reference scenario (dynamic baselines).
E.2 E.3 and E.4 The section was split into two new sections. E.3 allows reporting on the project scenario, i.e. the projection for the activity. E.4 allows reporting information on the actual project.
Tables in E.2 E.5 The orientation of columns and rows has been changed in light of comments by Parties. Values are to be converted using 1995 IPCC global warming potential (GWP) values(3) based on the effects of greenhouse gases over a 100-year time. Three subsections are suggested representing three types of tables similar in their structure. Table E.5.1 allows reporting values on the baseline and the project scenario prior to the lifetime of the project. Section E.5.2 provides the possibility to report on revisions and E.5.3 on actual values.
F. F The section has been revised adding subsections and tables. Subsection one provides for an explanation on financial additionality (Financial mechanism and ODA). Subsection two and three provide a table to report on sources of funding by origin (host / investor), the category (e.g. NGO, IGO, private sector, public sector etc.) and the respective amounts sought/secured.
G. G. The section has been revised adding subsections and providing detailed questions.
H. H. The subsections have been either dropped (H.1, H.2, H.4 and H.5) or moved (H.3 see above).

ACTIVITIES IMPLEMENTED JOINTLY UNDER

THE PILOT PHASE



Instructions for submission



1. The uniform reporting format (URF) contained below is to be used in reporting on activities implemented jointly under the pilot phase and was adopted by the Conference of the Parties at its [fifth] session (FCCC/CP/[1999/...]) and should be consistent with decision 5/CP.1, contained in annex 4 to this URF.



2. A report (first, interim or final) is to be submitted to the secretariat by the designated national authority (DNA) of a participating Party with proof of concurrence, on official letterhead, of all other DNAs involved in the project and is then considered to be

"mutually-agreed". While the submitting Party may initially forward reports using electronic mail in combination with fax for the proof of concurrence, all documents must be made available to the secretariat in original form.

column (B)

Please describe also assumptions and factors underlying the calculations (such as activity data, load factors), as well as effects occurring outside the system boundary covering:

(i) positive effects ( e.g. technology spillovers; awareness building; cost reduction of technology due to scale effects; attraction of demand for clean, reliable services); and

(ii) negative effects (e.g. displacing activities that cause emissions in another location; purchasing or contracting out of services and commodities that were previously produced or provided on-site and now lead to emissions elsewhere; emission increases due to higher demand for services and commodities whose market price has been reduced through the project; changes in emissions during a life-cycle of a product so that emissions arise in other stages of the life-cycle that are not subject to constraints). If you use an overall leakage correction factor, please explain your choice.
