“…Other indicators of mitigation potential -energy structure (Dinar et al, 2008) and economic growth (Flues 2010)corroborate the role of mitigation potential in determining the distribution of CDM projects. Many analysts have noted that, as a market-based mechanism for initiating low cost emissions reductions, most CDM projects -or more specifically most of the CERs -would be located in countries where significant GHG emissions can be reduced or avoided at relatively low cost.…”

“…It is evident from the sections above that most of the investment in CDM projects originates in the host country, so the investment climate in the host country is a crucial determinant of CDM activity (Michaelowa and Buen, 2012). Analysts use a variety of indicators for the host country investment climate including ease of doing business, political freedom, and corruption levels as important influences (Dinar et al 2008;Flues 2010: Okubo andMichaelowa 2010;Burian et al 2011;Ellis and Kamel 2007) 151 .…”

“…There is an extensive literature discussing the barriers to project implementation (Arens and Burian, 2012;Arens, Wang-Helmreich, et al, 2011;Byigero, Clancy and Skutsch, 2010;Castro and Michaelowa, 2011;Costantini and Sforna, 2014;Dinar, Rahman, Larson and Ambrosi, 2008;Jung, 2006;Niederberger and Saner, 2005;Okubo and Michaelowa, 2010;Röttgers and Grote, 2014;Spalding-Fecher et al, 2012;Winkelman and Moore, 2011). The general business environment has been identified as one important factor, but there are also CDM specific barriers for the realization of CDM projects: the absolute level of GHG emissions, GHG intensity, institutional capacity, and human capital.…”

Africa and in particular African Least Developed Countries (LDCs) have in the past been neglected by the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) to a large extent. This article reviews the mechanism's performance in the region and highlights current developments. The analysis is based on a quantitative breakdown of data provided by the UNEP DTU CDM Pipeline and was complemented by interviews with selected investors. The findings indicate that despite the various support measures for underrepresented regions, the overall share of African CDM activities continues to be low. The significant rise in the share of Programmes of Activities (PoAs) of recent years cannot make up for the continuing low numbers of African stand-alone projects. Further, the collapse of the compliance market has proved fatal in terms of timing: Ongoing efforts to support the development of a genuine African carbon market were suffocated by the lack of demand for CERs at a moment when capacity building had started to bear fruit. Consequently, instead of being a mitigation tool with significant scale the future role of the CDM in Africa might be limited to the voluntary market while at the same time serving as a tool to foster sustainable development, with mitigation benefits.

“…The private sector owns most of the technologies required for a shift to low-carbon paths and is responsible for most international TT through mostly trade and FDI (Stern, 2007;Brewer, 2009;WB, 2009). Ease of doing business indicators can show the general state of business regulation and have been used in models to explain levels of international cooperation in CDM projects (Dinar et al, 2008). Institutional and economic frameworks that have been proved to enable private investment, leading to transfers of climate change technologies, include:…”

iv de análisis cuantitativo, así como por sus recomendaciones en la búsqueda de trabajo académico. También gracias a Penélope Woods, por los agradables días de estudio y las comidas en la Biblioteca Nacional de Londres.Finalmente, sin duda quienes merecen mi mayor agradecimiento son mi familia. Gracias Chris por aguantar estoicamente todos estos años de investigación desde que nos conocimos y te dije que me quedaban "unos meses" para terminar la tesis. Gracias por tu paciencia, por aceptar que muchos fines de semana no podíamos hacer planes porque los pasaría en la biblioteca, por leer y corregir muchos capítulos y por los continuos ánimos. Gracias también a mis padres por su apoyo e ilusión con mi proyecto y un especial agradecimiento a mi padre por inculcarme su amor por el trabajo y el estudio.
