What is CDM project?
Under the Kyoto Protocol industrialized countries agreed to reduce
their emissions. The amount
they agreed to is their target. The targets are expressed as a
percentage reduction of greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990
emission levels, which has to be achieved in the period 2008-2012.
So, for example, Japan has a target of 6%, which means that in the
period 2008-2012 its emissions must be 6% below what they were in
1990.
Based on that UNFCCC issued that any project can reduce emissions to
atmosphere will be considered as CDM ( clean and development
mechanism)
At the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, countries agreed to the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC ) in response to
growing evidence that human activity was contributing to global
warming. The UNFCCC contained a non-binding commitment by
industrialised countries (listed in Annex I of the Convention) that
they would reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases to 1990 levels
by the year 2000. It soon became clear that this wasn’t enough to
avoid dangerous climate change and in 1995, at the first Conference
of Parties (COP) after the Convention entered into force, parties
began to negotiate a Protocol that would set tighter and legally
binding targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
In 1997 at the 3rd COP to the Convention in Japan, Parties agreed on
a Protocol that set targets for industrialized countries to reduce
their emissions by an average of 5% below 1990 levels2 in the period
2008-2012, known as the first commitment period. The Protocol was
given the name of the city in which it was negotiated – Kyoto. To
help reduce the cost of meeting these reduction commitments three
market-based “flexible mechanisms” were designed : Emissions Trading
(ET), Joint Implementation (JI) and the Clean Development Mechanism
(CDM).
While different in operation, the three mechanisms are based on the
same principle : that industrialized countries be allowed to reduce
emissions wherever in the world those reductions are cheapest, and
then count those reductions towards their national target. JI and
the CDM are called the “project-based” mechanisms because they fund
actual projects ; JI generally funds projects in Eastern Europe and
the former Soviet Union3, while CDM projects can only happen in
developing countries which do not have an emissions reduction target
under the Kyoto Protocol.
As such, the CDM is the only part of the Kyoto Protocol which
directly involves developing countries in reducing greenhouse gas
emissions. The CDM is also different in that emission reduction
credits that are generated by CDM projects before the period
2008-2012 can be counted as reductions in that five year period.
Lastly, the CDM has an explicit mandate to promote sustainable
development,unlike JI or Emissions Trading.
