CDM

The Clean Development Mechanism is defined in Article 12 of the Kyoto Protocol and is one of the Protocol’s flexible mechanisms. Under the CDM, industrialised countries with emission reduction commitments under the Protocol can finance greenhouse gas reduction projects in developing countries to earn certified emission reduction (CER) credits that count towards meeting the reduction targets under the Protocol.
