Introduction to CDM

A project based mechanism Project must be in a developing country

Kyoto Protocols only market incentive to mitigate emissions in developing countries Assist Annex I in meeting their targets through offset mechanism (Ceiling to reduce by 5.2% below 1990 level) Assist non-Annex I in achieving sustainable development
