CAN Intervention in the COP19 CMP Plenary on CDM

The Climate Action Network (CAN) argues that the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) has underperformed, likely delivering only 40% of the emission reductions it sold and failing to provide sustainable development benefits. To address these failures, CAN proposes four urgent reforms: reforming additionality requirements and shortening crediting periods; excluding large-scale power projects and climate-damaging technologies like coal; establishing a grievance mechanism for local stakeholders to protect human rights; and creating a monitoring mechanism to improve sustainable development contributions.

• Research indicates that the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) has likely only achieved 40% of the emission reductions it sold and has failed to meet its objective of providing sustainable development benefits.
