Clean Development Mechanism |

The Clean Development
Mechanism (CDM) is an arrangement under the
Kyoto Protocol allowing industrialized
countries with a Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
reduction commitment (so-called Annex 1
countries) to invest in emission reducing
projects in developing countries (
Non-Annex-1). Now, Annex-1 parties having
emission caps on their total emission, can
buy those credits from Non-Annex-1 parties
to fulfill their limitations. This will
create an economical market for carbon
credits and also more interest for GHG
reduction projects. In a simple way, when a
developing country (Non Annex-1) like
India
, implements a project which can reduce
certain amount of Green House Gases, this
amount gives credits, which are called
Certified Emission Reductions (CERs). |

| Salient Features of CDM |
|
| |
-
Participation in CDM project
activity is voluntary and
investments in CDM is market
driven.
|
| |
- CDM
activities must lead to quantified
reductions in emissions.
|
| |
- The emissions reductions
achieved are transferable in the
form of CERs
to the investor country, the CERs
are a marketable commodity
under the Kyoto Protocol.
