Recommendations to the CMP8 on further guidance relating to the CDM

Carbon Market Watch proposes eleven specific reforms for the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) to be discussed at CMP8, focusing on additionality, project bans, human rights, and governance.

• Carbon Market Watch recommends several fundamental reforms to the CDM, including the overhaul of additionality requirements, the suspension and reform of standardised baseline guidelines, and a total ban on CDM coal power projects.
• The document calls for improvements to the CDM's social and governance frameworks, specifically regarding human rights, sustainable development contributions, the conduct of the CDM Executive Board, and the level of civil society participation.
• Technical recommendations for the CDM include the inclusion of Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) for grid emission factors, the prevention of carbon leakage in adipic acid projects, improved crediting rules, and the assessment of baseline scenarios during the renewal of crediting periods.
