2.Co-benefits climate change mitigation measures and CDM in the air quality management


This matrix classifies examples of outstanding activities involving integrated improvement of air quality management and climate change mitigation (good practices*) by countermeasure and scheme in order to gain an overview of such activities. Using the matrix, we shall seek to identify areas in which priority approaches are required. It is expected that each example of countermeasures appearing in the matrix will serve as a reference, in combination with the “catalog for identificationof Co-benefits projects” and “evaluation tools for calculation of co-benefit,” and be applied to project identification and planning.Good practices” refer to projects or other undertakings (including program-type approaches, such as implementation of a policy or master plan) that have a direct effect in improving air quality . Good practices target regions that were polluted prior to project implementation and/or regions that are expected to become polluted in the future. Criteria for selecting a good practice are “the project demonstrates effects that exceed certain levels in terms of both improvement of problems associated with air pollution, water pollution and waste management and reduction of greenhouse gases(GHG); it is stably implemented; and it is matched to regional conditions and needs.

  GHG reduction is main objective Hybrid Goal other than GHG reduction is main objective
CDM Hybrid-based approaches to CDM and other measures* Traditional ODA Development projects by developing countries themselves Policy measures, etc.
CDM Program CDM Combination of private business-led CDM (including PoA) and other funds (especially ODA and other public funds) ODA Other

※While, in essence, CDM is a project-based approach, it is expected to be implemented in combination with ODA and other approaches to generate collective effects.
※Items in parentheses are projects that, while not implemented in the past or present, can be envisioned for the future.
※PoA (Program of Activities) is a set of activities undertaken through the CDM host country’s policies and measures or by a private-sector interest or public organization that coordinates and implements efforts toward clear objectives. Among the activities are individual activities to reduce emissions.
※In addition to project-based approaches, good practices include activities to reduce emissions based on programs and formulation of basic policies.
