Analysing the status quo of CDM projects

A research paper by the NewClimate Institute and Ecofys, commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB), which analyzes the current status of Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects and identifies barriers to their continuation following a decline in market conditions.

• The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) has functioned as a critical global carbon market tool by spreading carbon price signals, encouraging private investment in climate mitigation, and aiding mitigation efforts in developing nations.
• Recent declines in market conditions have led to a noticeable deterioration in the status of CDM project activities and the associated domestic and international capacities.
• Research conducted by NewClimate Institute and Ecofys for the German Federal Ministry for Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) evaluated a large representative sample of projects to understand the status of individual CDM projects, technology-specific factors, national contexts, and barriers to project continuation.
