Course description
 |
This 2 day course uses three different case studies to teach learners how to write an in depth Project Design Document (PDD) under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). The course starts with a foundation that explains the function of the carbon markets, the Kyoto Protocol, the carbon project registration process, regulatory bodies and identifies the stakeholders involved. Learners will also be introduced to carbon project risks and the types of PDD’s that can be used.
The course then examines the different components that make up a successful PDD and includes practical examples and exercises that learners complete during the course ensuring they have the skills to conduct this process for their own purposes. Each section also includes tips and tricks from industry experts.
