In the recent meeting of the G8+G5 states, in Italy, the= leaders have agreed to work towards an emission reduction target of 80= % by 2050. The commitment towards containing climate change is strongly= reflected in the growth of the carbon markets that were valued at USD = 125 billion at the end of 2008, almost double their value over 2007.=0D=0ASingapore formally acceded to the Kyoto Protocol in 2006 enabling both the = government and the private sector to participate in its market based-me= chanisms. The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) under the Kyoto Protoco= l provides both host countries and its partner(s) with opportunities fo= r significant greenhouse gas emission reductions as well as sustainable= development.=20=0D=0A=0D=0AOn 1st Dec 2009, delegates from 170 countries will gather in Copenhagen for= the last, before the climate agreement needs to be renewed. In the mid= st of the uncertainties and trend change within the carbon market, seve= ral other project opportunities and initiatives have emerged on a compe= titive level of sustainable development as compared to the approved UN = projects. The voluntary market has been a major highlight where it has = reached a value of $ 700 million for the year 2008. It has created a di= fferent perspective in terms of technology transfer, value of the carbo= n credits & standardization. As for Singapore, energy efficiency type p= rojects, in Buildings, Transportation and Manufacturing space - have be= en attracting much attention and headlines.=20=0D=0A=0D=0AThis training course will enable you to understand the working of global ca= rbon market and implement energy efficiency projects with carbon benefi= ts in Singapore & South East Asia.=20=0D=0A=0D=0AObjectives=0D=0A - Understand opportunities and challenges in the Global Carbon Market Deve= lopment=0D=0A - Be able to identify, strategize and add values on the Green initiatives = in Singapore=0D=0A - Be able to move forward systematically and responsibly and gain from Ene= rgy Efficiency initiatives=0D=0A - Be able to plan and implement Green Buildings project as a valuable carb= on based project=0D=0A - Understand opportunities and challenges of the Programmatic CDM implemen= tation and Sectoral Approach of Energy Efficiency projectsProgramme Out= line=0D=0A - Emergence of the Carbon Markets=0D=0A - Kyoto Protocol and Generation of Carbon Credits=0D=0A - Potential of Energy Efficiency in developing Green Buildings=0D=0A - Programmatic CDM Sectoral Approach for Energy Efficiency Projects
