National Rules of Procedure for Implementation of the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol
These National Rules of Procedure were prepared by the Department of Environment, and establish that all ministries and organisations will be required to develop their own respective plans to deal with climate change. Their duties include:
• Preparation of GHG measurements of their activities on a regular basis
• Promotion of mitigation policies
• Assessment of the vulnerability of each sector to the impact of climate change and development of adaptation programs
• Assessing the technological needs for mitigation and adaptation
• Research and education programs
• Capacity building to raise the awareness of policy makers and experts
• Enhancing their overall capabilities to monitor climate change.
Based on these National Rules, another document was issued, the Rules of procedure on Clean Development Mechanism projects to be adopted under the Kyoto Protocol by the Designated National Authority. A National Working Group, led by the Department of Environment’s deputy, has been introduced to undertake responsibility for co-ordination and implementation of the strategies and Action Plan.
