Kyoto Protocol’100 Programmes of Activities (PoAs

Dear colleagues,

The Kyoto Protocol’s clean development mechanism (CDM) has now registered
more than 100 Programmes of Activities (PoAs). The milestone was passed on
a day that saw the registration of seven PoAs: a small-scale solar project
in Thailand (8457); small-scale hydro projects in China (8259) and Brazil
(7062); a solar LED project in Kenya (7489); cookstove projects in Mexico
(8521) and in eight African countries (7359); and a renewable energy
project in China (8526).

More than 25 per cent of all registered PoAs are located in Africa,
compared to just 2 per cent of regular CDM projects.

“For most LDCs, especially in Africa, single CDM projects are often too
small to be viable,” said Peer Stiansen, Chair of the CDM Executive Board.
“The recent growth in numbers shows that PoAs are overcoming this barrier
and extending the benefits of the CDM to regions not previously able to
take advantage of the mechanism.”

Since the PoA procedures were adopted by the CDM Executive Board in 2007,
116 have been registered in 42 countries and more than 250 are currently in
the PoA pipeline. Of the active PoA projects, 60 per cent have entered the
pipeline since the beginning of 2012.

Under PoA, an unlimited number of similar project activities, over a wide
area or region, can be administered under a single programme umbrella. They
are particularly suited to small-scale or micro-scale projects. After a PoA
is registered, similar projects can be added over time without the need to
register each one individually, reducing transaction costs and making the
CDM more attractive and more accessible to least developed countries
(LDCs).

Zibambwe: Mnangagwa’s wealth, has allegedly been supplemented by illicit mine deals in the DRCCongo.

Reputedly ‘Zimbabwe’s richest’ man. Zanu-PF heir-in-waiting Emmerson Mnangagwa was a few years ago described as ‘Zimbabwe’s richest man’ by Wikileaks cables written by a US ambassador in 2001. The cables, however, shied away from estimating his wealth in numbers. “Regarded as the wealthiest individual in Zimbabwe, Mnangagwa has close business links with Colonel Lionel Dyck, a white officer from the old Rhodesian army who founded Mine Tech, a landmine clearance company that secured lucrative contracts from the Zimbabwean government to clear landmines in Zimbabwe border areas after the war,” Wikipedia said in a post updated after Mnangagwa was appointed vice-president in December 2014. Various sources, including Zimbabwean and UK media outlets, allege Mnangagwa made much of his money while he was secretary for finance in Zanu-PF. This, according to the the United Nations Security Council reports in 2002 and 2003, was supplemented by his involvement as one of the illegal mi

Kenya: Kwale Titanium Mine was to be launched in 2013

Australian diversified junior miner, Base Resources Ltd.'s titanium unit in Kenya aims to start mining in 2013, ending years of uncertainty over the project, a company official said on Monday. Joe Schwarz, the general manager of Base Titanium, said in a telephone interview he expected the ongoing feasibility study at the project to be concluded by early 2011, and an estimated $200 million to be raised next year to kickstart the mine. The project on Kenya's sweltering Indian Ocean coast has been held up for years by delays including demonstrations by environmental groups, disputes with local farmers over compensation for land and drawn out talks with the government. Schwarz said so far Base Titanium had yet to sign agreements with buyers of its minerals, but said the exports would likely be destined to China, U.S. and Europe.  "Once we have the green light on the final investment decision, building the plant will take 18-21 months and we would be able to start pro
