The document discusses government capacity and willingness to create policy frameworks and measure emission reductions. It also mentions several bottom-up initiatives happening among developing countries and supported by organizations like the World Bank, EU, and USAID to study carbon markets and sectors. Specifically, it outlines a Nordic Pilot Support Programme to conduct feasibility studies in 2011 on data availability, abatement opportunities, and matching Nordic support with domestic policy frameworks in a host country to support climate change mitigation.

Government capacity (and willingness) to :
• Create institutions and a comprehensive policy framework
• Measure, Report and Verify (MRV) emission reductions
• Bottom-up initiatives are currently mush-rooming
- Developing country initiatives (e.g. CPH accords; CIF schemes)
- World Bank - carbon market readiness
- EU, IEA, UK, USAID - sectoral, MRV scoping study and market
mechanisms
- Several others incl. states, cities and NORDIC COUNTRIES
Building blocks in a post-CPH

Nordic Pilot Support Programme : ”Up-scaled support
mechanism for climate change mitigation”
1st step feasibility study on:
• Data availability incl. proxydata, prognosis methodologies, organsiation
and collection of data incl. inst.capacity
• Matching abatement opportunities with support incl. direct financial,
technical and crediting
• Matching Nordic support with overall domestic policy framework
(existing and planned policies) including all relevant policies that affects
GHG emissions
Will be launched in early 2011 pending on finding a suitable host country
