Will international investment rules obstruct climate protection policies?
Summary
The research examines how international investment law may either obstruct or support the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), arguing that CDM rules must be designed to align with existing legal frameworks and that investment agreements should permit countries to prioritize multilateral environmental agreements.
Key insights
- There is a potential for conflict between the rules of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and international investment law, although appropriately constructed investment law can also support the CDM's functioning.
