Through
the CDM, GHG
(greenhouse gas) mitigation projects that contribute to sustainable
development in developing countries can help Annex I countries
(developed
countries and
economies in transition) meet
their commitments under the Kyoto Protocol.
The research activities
undertaken in this project aimed to
 contribute
to the evolving CDM rules and modalities
enhance understanding
about CDM
evaluate CDM
project opportunities
build capacity
to develop CDM projects.

Potential
projects in Asia
Two projects were selected by
each Asian partner for further development under the CDM.
The criteria used to select these projects included country-specific
sustainable development goals, Canadian investor preferences,
potential eligibility under simplified procedures defined
for CDM small-scale projects and the size and cost of GHG
emissions reductions.
Capacity
building
Several CDM workshops were organized
by the project partners for policymakers, project developers,
and investors in Canada, Asia, and at various COP sessions.
The Pembina Institute brought out a user's guide to developing
CDM projects.
