4 April 2019 - Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Cambodia, in collaboration with RCC Bangkok, is laying the groundwork for advancing climate action, specifically by increasing capacity to more accurately measure climate action undertaken in the country. The country is doing so by aiming to submit to the Executive Board of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) a standardized baseline for its national grid emission factor (GEF).
The GEF will make it easier for project developers to accurately calculate emission reductions derived from CDM projects. Furthermore, a GEF would bring various other benefits to the country, including more accurate measurement of emissions for the purposes of reporting on its nationally determined contribution, results-based climate finance projects, and for NAMA projects.
Upon the request of the Cambodian Designated National Authority (DNA), RCC Bangkok organized a workshop in Phnom Phen on 4 April which aimed to enhance the capacity of Cambodian stakeholders in developing standardized baselines, and specifically a GEF.
