Bolivia has generated the optimal conditions
and capabilities to be competitive in the CDM with
high quality projects.
In 1995, The National Program on Climate Change
(NPCC) was created under the Viceministry for
Natural Resources and the
Environment. The role of the NPCC is to comply with the Bolivian
obligations
under the UNFCC. The NCDO operates under the NPCC becoming the logical step
forward for established and solid institutional framework to deal with
aspects of climate change
like mitigation and adaptation.
Milestones:
-
National Strategy of Participation in the
Clean Development Mechanism and other trading schemes of reduction of
emission of Greenhouse Gases, 2004.
-
Clean Development Mechanism Projects in
Bolivia, 2004.
-
Guidelines for the presentation of Clean
Development Mechanism Projects in Bolivia, 2003.
-
Initial Evaluation of necessities of
Technology for the Global Climate Change in Bolivia, 2003.
-
National Strategy Study for the participation
of Bolivia in the Clean Development Mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol, 2001.
-
Plan of Climate Change Action in the Energy,
Forestry, Agriculture and Livestock sectors, 2000.
WHY BOLIVIA IS A GOOD
ALTERNATIVE TO INVEST IN THE CDM PROJECTS?
-
Bolivia is classified among the eight
countries which have the greatest biodiversity due its variety of ecological
regions and its outstanding diversity in plants and animals.
-
According to studies done by NPCC (2003), the
Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) activities represent the 85%
of the total emissions of CO2 of Bolivia.
-
The LULUCF activities have an important
average mitigation potential of 73.5 millions of tCO2 / year (National
Strategy Study, 2001).
-
Afforestation and Forestation activities have
an emission reduction potential of 35 millions of tCO2 for the 2001-2012
period (National Strategy Study, 2001).
-
Bolivia has a great potential in the energy
sector due to its large renewable and non renewable resources. Moreover,
Bolivia has the second place in South America in natural gas reserves.
-
According to the studies done by NPCC (2003)
the sectors which contribute with the most of the emission of GHG in Bolivia
are: Transport (44%), Energy Industries (23%), Manufacture and construction
(12%) and residential (12%). The estimated total emissions in the energy
sector were 7.2 millions of tCO2 for 2000 year.
-
The energy sector has an average emission
reduction potential of 1.8 millions of tCO2 / year (National Strategy Study,
2001).
