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

Developed(Annex I) Country

Dual objective

Assist Annex I in meeting their targets throughoffset mechanism (Ceiling to reduce by 5.2% CarbonCreditsSalesProceedsbelow 1990 level)

Assist non-Annex I in achieving sustainabledevelopment

Project must provide emission reductions thatare additional to any that would occur in theabsence of the certified project activity
