Letter to the CDM EB from CDM Watch on behalf of civil society affected by CDM projects, to highlight significant concerns about effective means for public participation under the current CDM procedures

CDM Watch argues that despite mandates from decision 2/CMP.5 to improve transparency and stakeholder communication, existing Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) procedures create significant obstacles that prevent effective public participation in a manner consistent with international law and the Kyoto Protocol.

• Decision 2/CMP.5 mandates that the Executive Board prioritize improvements in impartiality, consistency, and transparency, while also enhancing communication with stakeholders.
• Current CDM procedures contain a significant number of obstacles that prevent public participation from being effective or consistent with the UNFCCC, the Kyoto Protocol, and general principles of international law.
