Closing Keynote: Post Kyoto Mechanisms
|
| CDM, being one of the major innovations of the Kyoto Protocol, has been in operation for three years since COP7. Now, Kyoto Protocol has entered into force, and the negotiation on post-2012 framework has started at COP/MOP. Against this backdrop, it is time to review CDM and discuss what possible scenarios may evolve: |
| |
- How CDM can be improved upon?
- Has CDM been investor friendly?
- Has it contributed in sustainable development?
- Has it led to technology transfer?
- How will post 2012 include the developing countries in meeting carbon reduction targets?
- How can we remove the barrier and enhance the opportunity for post 2012?
