Designated National Authority (DNA)

To participate in CDM, a Party needs to appoint a Designated National Authority. The DNA issues the Letter of Approval (LoA) needed for registration of a project. A project will need both a host country approval as well as investor country approval.

Designated Operational Entity (DOE)

A domestic legal entity or an international organization accredited and designated by the CDM EB. The DOE validates and requests registration of a proposed CDM projects activity as well as verifies emission reductions of a registered CDM project activity.

Domestic Project

JI project developed in the absence of another Annex 1 Party participation.

Double Counting

Projects within installations covered by the EU Emission Trading Scheme can not be put forward as Joint Implementation projects because allocation of European Union Allowances (EUAs) and generation of Emission Reduction Units (ERUs) in the same installation would lead to double counting.
