2. December 2004 : Tunisia established their Designated National Authority (DNA) for approving CDM Projects. December 2005 : The Ministry of Industry, Energy and Small and Medium Enterprises established a CDM Task Force which aims at promoting the structuring of CDM projects in the energy and industry sectors. 107,600 millions teCO2 Since the Kyoto Protocol came into force on February 16, 2005, the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) recorded an edifying growth on the international scene, enabling thus developing countries, notably Tunisia, to participate in climate change control by undertaking projects aimed at reducing greenhouse gases (GHG), which projects also contribute to sustainable development in countries where they are implemented.

4. The Executive Board Institutional Players involved in the CDM The Designated National Authority (DNA): set up by the host country, upon ratification of the Protocol Designated Operational Entities (DOEs) Supervises the establishment of the CDM Registers CDM projects Issue URCEs. Determines sustainable development criteria specific to the country Controls the of project approval process. Check and validate CDM projects Inform the public.

5. The baseline scenario for emissions (« business as usual » scenario) which builds on a methodology approved by the Executive Board. A monitoring plan for the emissions of the project developed based on methodologies that are to be approved by the Executive Board. A project environmental impact study. The feedbacks compiled during the consultation of local stakeholders held by the project developer. Step 1: Developing the CDM Project Document The developer of a CDM project is to submit a Project Design Document (PDD) to the Executive Board for approval and it must contain: Step 2: Project Validation by the Designated Operational Entity (DOE) Upon evaluation of the project by the DOE, the latter makes the decision to validate it or not. During this validation step, the DOE is to make the project document public and subject it to comments for 30 days. In their validation report, submitted to the Executive Board, the DOE must specify the feedbacks compiled and the way they were addressed.

6. Following the review of the validation report, the Executive Board may determine to register the project or not as a CDM project, within 8 weeks from reception at the most. This registration will later allow the issuance of the UREC. Step 3: Final Registration of the Project Step 4: Monitoring, Verification and Issuance of URCEs The verification of project emission reduction is ensured by another DOE. The project emission monitoring report drafted by the project developer and the said DOE’s verification report must be published. Further to the verification report, the Executive Board may issue a URCE volume equivalent to the emission reductions noted. The collection of a statutory tax of 2 percent on URECs is provided for for each registered CDM project to support an adapation fund set up by the Kyoto Protocol. This fund is meant to finance climate change adaptation projects for the most vulnerable countries. The CDM projects planned in the least advanced countries are exempted from this tax.
