Vulnerability of CDM projects for discontinuation of mitigation activities

The report, commissioned by the German Emissions Trading Authority, examines the risk of CDM projects ceasing greenhouse gas abatement due to an oversupply of emission reduction credits in the global carbon market. It specifically aims to quantify the risk across different project types, assess the potential impact of supporting their continuation compared to the status quo, and identify options to ensure long-term mitigation.

• The global carbon market is currently in an uncertain period because the supply of emission reduction credits from the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and Joint Implementation (JI) has exceeded demand.
• The report is structured to address three specific research objectives: determining the extent to which various CDM project types risk discontinuing GHG abatement, calculating the potential abatement impact of supporting these projects versus the status quo, and identifying options for ensuring their short- and long-term continuation.
