Decision 67/24

After further discussion, the Executive Committee decided:

1. To note with appreciation the submission by the Government of Nigeria of a pilot ODS waste management and disposal project to destroy a total of 84 metric tonnes of ODS waste;
2. To note the commitment of the Government of Nigeria to use any income from the marketing of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions generated by or associated with the project for the establishment of an appliance replacement programme in the country to sustain the waste ODS recovery and collection system;
3. To approve the implementation of the pilot project for ODS waste management and destruction in Nigeria at the amount of US $911,724, plus agency support costs of US $63,821 for UNIDO, noting that approval was on the understanding that:
   1. No further funds would be available for Nigeria for any ODS disposal projects in future;
   2. Any marketing of GHG emission reductions generated by or associated with the project would be subject to a decision by the Executive Committee; and
4. To request the Government of Nigeria, through UNIDO, to establish a monitoring system for the operation of and the activities associated with, the ODS disposal demonstration project, and to request UNIDO to report thereon to the Executive Committee at the completion of the project in 2014, ensuring that no marketing of GHG emission reductions had taken place.
