Handbook for Programme of Activities, 2nd Edition

Since the successful release of the first edition of the Handbook in 2011, over one hundred new PoAs have been registered under the CDM. As the PoA market evolves, so do the guidelines and standards applicable to their development. This comprehensive publication provides the most up-to-date CDM guidelines to PoA development, and features new chapters on developing voluntary PoAs under The Gold Standard as well as implementing PoAs in Africa.
