“…Efforts are being made to standardise procedures in light of insufficient predictability, long lead time and high upfront cost (World Bank, 2012). It is undeniable that from 2002 to 2008, about US$95 billion invested in clean energy was a direct benefit from the CDM (Jiang, 2013). Notwithstanding that emission targets are negotiated on a commitment period basis, CDM as a long-term mechanism is not restricted to specific commitment periods (Wong, 2013).…”

“…From another perspective, China has some prior experiences from constructing CDM projects, including both institutions and regulations. The country is aware of the severeness of climate change and have established the National Coordination Committee on Climate Change (NCCCC) at the beginning of 21th century [11]. The membership of NCCC involves a whole range of agencies related to the environment and energy, including the Ministry of Water Resources and the State Environmental Protection Administration.…”

“…Moreover, China specified the Interim Measures for Operation and Management of Clean Development Mechanism Projects, which includes the rules that both domestic and foreign institutions need to follow under CDM construction [11]. Under those measures, the transparency of CDM projects is promised, the role of the project developer is limited to domestic or joint-venture enterprises, and the technology transfer is ensured.…”

Environmental problem is becoming more severer day by day. China, as one of the largest carbon emission entities, has implemented CDM projects to help it reduce carbon emissions, and achieve sustainable growth. The CDM benefits both developing and developed countries by helping developed countries to reach emission reduction targets and providing subsidies for developing countries to build sustainable projects. The research paper shows that CDM is preferred by China to other projects due to its advantages, such as the CERs trading mechanism, the investment and subsidy from foreign countries, and the technology transfer. Meanwhile, after CDM adoption, the country has built some institutions and enacted appropriate regulations to construct CDM projects more efficiently. In the last part of the research, the influences of CDM on the domestic economy has been analysed, where both data and past paper from the official website and published articles show positive effects of building CDM, including job creation and decreasing worrying over the electric shortage. In conclusion, CDM projects and Chinese circumstances are compatible in several aspects which are presented in the paper. The compatibility contributes to Chinese sustainable development and provides other developing countries with a sample to learn from.

“…152 A recent review finds that the CDM has helped to build technical and institutional capacities within China. 153 The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), the central planning powerhouse, serves as China's designated national authority. 154 In each supplier country, these authorities have important roles in assessing whether participation in CDM projects is voluntary and whether the projects assist the host country in achieving its sustainable development goals.…”

Lessons from Regulating Carbon Offset Markets

To support carbon markets, regulators must engage in a continuous process of learning. This article explores offsets regulation in the compliance markets of Europe, the United States and China, alongside the Clean Development Mechanism, to identify what has been learnt since offsets were initiated. We argue that offsets regulation must learn to work with demands for commercial viability, environmental sustainability and political legitimacy. We find that the learning here recommends greater control of the shares, sectors, sources and standards of offsets than was initially chosen. The findings provide some cautious optimism about the scope for improvements to such market mechanisms.
