GEOGRAPHIC COVERAGE

Developing countries and economies in transition.

FOCUS AREA

All CDM and Joint Implementation (JI) projects are eligible, except Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) projects. However a preference is given to projects dealing with renewable energy; wind power; combined heat and power; hydropower; biomass and clean fuels; and landfill projects. Priority will also be given to projects that match areas of the CO2 market in which Danish companies have a leading position and to small-scale projects more generally.

HOW TO APPLY

For all funds administered by the World Bank, project proponents must complete and submit a Project Idea Note in order to receive feedback and instructions on how to proceed. All the necessary forms can be downloaded from the website. Additionally, for this Fund only, a mandatory Community Benefits Questionnaire is also available.

As the current Kyoto Protocol commitment period will close at the end of 2012, access to this fund is limited to very low-risk initiatives at an advanced stage of preparation.
