“…Three studies aim to predict, respectively, how far the CDM will advance SD goals (Austin and Faeth 2000), whether the CDM will further or impede SD (Banuri and Gupta 2000), and whether the CDM can be a leverage for development (Mathy et al 2001). A fourth study argues for the inclusion of community forestry projects in the CDM based on significant co-benefits such as rural development and biodiversity (Klooster and Masera 2000).…”

“…Common to the studies is a lack of CDM project data, as it is too early in the CDM's development for sufficient evidence to be available. Instead, the studies use data based on, for example, literature reviews from potential CDM projects in Brazil, India and China (Austin and Faeth 2000), simulation and modelling of the leverage effect of CDM investments on development (Mathy et al 2001), or assessments of the impact of CDM investment on SD using three different economic approaches (Banuri and Gupta 2000).…”

The clean development mechanism’s contribution to sustainable development: a review of the literature

The challenges of how to respond to climate change and ensure sustainable development are currently high on the political agenda among the world's leading nations. The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is part of the global carbon market developing rapidly as part of the Kyoto response towards the mitigation of global warming. One of the aims of the CDM is to achieve sustainable development in developing countries, but uncertainty prevails as to whether the CDM is doing what it promises to do. Close to 200 studies on the CDM have been carried out since its birth in 1997 including peer-reviewed articles and reports from the grey literature. This review of the literature serves to assess the state of knowledge on how the CDM contributes to sustainable development (SD) including poverty alleviation. The main finding of the review is that, left to market forces, the CDM does not significantly contribute to sustainable development.

“…Their objective would be to maximise both the climate change reduction potential and the sustainable development of a portfolio of CDM investments across the globe (Mathy 2001). It would therefore encompass elements which enable some geographical distribution across the developing countries (to ensure some level of equitable distribution of projects) as well as across technologies and sectors.…”

One of the important responses of Kyoto Protocol towards mitigation of global warming is the clean development mechanism (CDM) that has garnered large emphasis amidst the global carbon market in terms of certified emission reduction (CER). CERs are the carbon credits issued by the CDM executive board for emission reductions achieved by CDM projects and verified by designated operational entity (DOE) under the rules of the Kyoto Protocol. While CDM aims to achieve sustainable development in energy production and consumption in developing countries, the results achieved through its implementation are still uncertain. More than 400 studies have been undertaken since 1997 on the CDM. Albeit, hitherto no compilations of key issues pertaining to the CDM and different points of views on its implementation and achievement have been attempted. This paper envisages to assess the contributions of the CDM towards sustainable development and its impact in various sectors.

“…Another group focuses on more global development issues. Early studies in this tradition tended to adopt prospective quantitative approaches (Banuri and Gupta, 2000; Mathy et al , 2001), although most research features qualitative analyses with multiple criteria (Kolshus et al , 2001; Huq, 2002; Begg et al , 2003; Sutter, 2003; Anagnostopoulos et al , 2004; Olhoff et al , 2004; Olsen, 2007; UNFCCC, 2012). However, these heterogeneous studies are sometimes controversial (Olsen, 2007; Olsen and Fenhann, 2008; Boyd et al , 2009; Alexeew et al , 2010; Bumpus and Cole, 2010; Subbarao and Lloyd, 2011.…”

Since 2000, the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) under the Kyoto Protocol has included southern countries in the fight against climate change by encouraging northern countries to make environmentally friendly direct investments at the lowest cost in these developing nations. Although CDM investments have enjoyed great success, the question of the contribution of these investments to the development of the host countries remains insufficiently explored. This paper offers a computable general equilibrium model-based scenario, describing the potential economic and environmental impacts of CDM investments for Mexico. As modelled in this study, these investments should generate both additional demand for activities that produce the fixed capital goods required for their implementation and environmentally friendly technological changes in the production process for the electricity sector. The numerical simulations reveal the growth potential and important fund of development represented by the CDM for Mexico; however, they show that the environmental impact also appears broadly mixed and dependent on both the nature of the sectors it affects and the intensity of the technological change it generates.
