Support Services for Monitoring and Verification of A/R Clean Development Mechanism Projects
Selection # 1036791
The World Bank Carbon Finance Unit's (CFU) initiatives are part of the larger global effort to combat climate change, and go hand in hand with the World Bank and its Environment Department's mission to reduce poverty and improve living standards in the developing world. The CFU uses money contributed by governments and companies in OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries to purchase project-based greenhouse gas emission reductions in developing countries and countries with economies in transition. The emission reductions are purchased through one of the CFU's carbon funds on behalf of the contributor, and within the framework of the Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) or Joint Implementation (JI).
One of these carbon funds is the BioCarbon Fund, which aims to open the carbon market to forestry and agriculture activities (see www.carbonfinance.org/biocarbon). As of today the BioCarbon Fund manages an active portfolio of more than 20 projects at different stages in the registration and verification process with the UNFCCC.
In an effort to ensure that all projects can move quickly through the verification process, the CFU has identified 8 CDM A/R projects that may require additional support for monitoring and verification at some point between July 2011 and December 2012.
Interested firms are hereby invited to submit expressions of interest. They should be submitted, in English, through the World Bank Groups online platform eConsultant2: https://wbgeconsult2.worldbank.org/wbgec/index.html (selection # 1036791). The deadline is June 3rd, 2011.
