To promote sustainable developmentDevelopment priorities
Local capacity building
To promote investmentCommercial viability and replication
Generate economic returns
Intersection of these enabling
environments is of prime interest
Enabling Environments
![Page 5: Enabling Environments for Clean Energy Technology Transfer Michael Gerbis President The Delphi Group](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033107/56649e855503460f94b8752a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Mechanisms that can Facilitate the Development of Enabling Environments
Promote SD, increase foreign investment, catalyze technology transfer
Build capacity, enhance environment & social development
Provide new commercial opp., leverage financing, + revenue, offset risks, etc.
CDM & JI
![Page 6: Enabling Environments for Clean Energy Technology Transfer Michael Gerbis President The Delphi Group](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033107/56649e855503460f94b8752a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
To private sector, enabling an environment means making it attractive for investment
Minimal business risks (cost, viability)
Maximize returns on investment
High potential for sales and replication
Cost effective CERs/ERUs
What Makes a Market Attractive for CDM/JI?

Key mistakes often made
GovernmentCreating uncertainty or restrictive rules/policy
Not setting priorities (SD, types of projects…)
Trying to be the “gatekeeper” of project approval
Setting policy/rules and not following through
Private SectorDo not understand unique aspects of the market
Do not know SD or Tech priorities, CDM/JI process
No engagement of stakeholders
Establishing Enabling Environments for CDM/JI

Essentials to Develop the Market
Four essential principles for market development by Governments:
Clarity: Make the rules clear
Consistency: Don’t change the rules
Transparency: Enforcing the rules
Disseminate: Make the rules and tools available

Conclusions
Building enabling environments is difficult and slow
Success comes by keeping it simple
For CDM/JI there is a need for an ‘Architectural Framework’
CACBI has enjoyed excellent response
Process outlined is transportable
This is both a Public & Private Sector Responsibility
Learning process for us all
