About this document
Understanding the Clean Development Mechanism is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) allows industrialized countries to invest in emissions reduction projects in developing countries. This allows industrialized countries to receive credits toward their emissions reduction targets under the Kyoto Protocol, while also promoting sustainable development in developing countries. The CDM works by having industrialized countries or private companies fund projects in developing countries that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, such as improving energy efficiency.
