This report contains the results of a study analyzing the transfer of technology under Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects.

Germany is one of the leading countries in Europe, as well as globally, in terms of its renewable energy and climate change policies. The multiple levels of government within the European Union (EU) mean that the German government must interact both with EU institutions (e.g., the Commission, Council, and Parliament) and subnational L

Climate change is the number one threat to human development. Yet progress towards limiting global warming to below 2

Sectoral no-lose target has been suggested as one way to overcome weaknesses of the current clean development mechanism and to encourage structural changes and significant reduction of CO2 emissions in carbon-intensive sectors in developing countries.

The clean development mechanism allows emission-reduction projects in developing countries to earn certified emission reduction (CER) credits, each equivalent to one tonne of CO2. CERs can be traded and sold, and used by industrialized countries to meet a part of their targets under the Protocol. The CDM assists countries in achieving sustainable development and

The purpose of the small-scale A/R CDM project activity are: to earn carbon credits from growing of trees to be planted, under the CDM provisions of Kyoto Protocol; to help in mitigation of global warming by planting trees for sequestration of atmospheric

This report provides an overview of public finance mechanisms that mobilise and leverage commercial financing, build commercially sustainable markets, and increase capacity to deliver clean energy and other climate-mitigation technologies, projects and businesses.
