Where do they go from here? Analysing the status quo of CDM projects

The document highlights the role of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) in diffusing carbon price signals and stimulating private investment in developing countries, while noting a deterioration in project activities and capacities due to declining market conditions. It identifies a significant information gap regarding the current status and barriers facing individual CDM projects worldwide and describes a study that evaluated a representative sample of these projects to extract lessons on national and technology-specific considerations.

• The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) has functioned as a critical carbon market tool by spreading carbon price signals globally, 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 as well as related domestic and international capacities.
• There is a significant lack of data concerning the current status of individual CDM projects globally, including the specific barriers they face and the resources needed to ensure their continuation.
