In the Clean Development Mechanism, only afforestation and reforestation are eligible to produce certified emission reductions ( CERs ) in the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol ( 2008 – 2012 ).

# Flexible Mechanisms: The " flexibility " mechanisms which the United States had strongly favored when the Protocol was initially put together, including emissions trading ; Joint Implementation ( JI ); and the Clean Development Mechanism ( CDM ) which allow industrialized countries to fund emissions reduction activities in developing countries as an alternative to domestic emission reductions.

* Clean Energy for Planetary Survival: International Development Research Centre

* Clean Development Mechanism, a Kyoto Protocol mechanism to assist developing countries reducing their greenhouse gas emissions

* Program of Activities ( PoA ), is a modality of the UNFCCC Clean Development Mechanism

* Project Design Document, a precise project description which serves as the basis for the CDM ( Clean Development Mechanism ) project evaluation

The United States has signed the Asia Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and Climate, a pact that allows signatory countries to set goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions individually, but with no enforcement mechanism.

He has been involved a variety of eco-business pursuits in the Winnipeg area, including being President of Sustainable Development International, and serving as Chairman of the Manitoba Clean Environment Commission.

He has been a consistent supporter and frequent admirer of George W. Bush and once wrote of his work in creating the Asia-Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and Climate:

Cowan was re-elected in the general election of 1981 ( this time defeating Ingebrigtson by around 1350 votes ); the NDP won the election, and he was appointed Minister of Northern Affairs on November 30, 1981, with responsibility for Environmental Management, the Clean Environment Act, the Workers Compensation Act, the Workplace Safety and Health Act, and the Communities Economic Development Fund Act.

At present, projects for anaerobic digestion in the developing world can gain financial support through the United Nations Clean Development Mechanism if they are able to show they provide reduced carbon emissions.

This is reflected in their price ; voluntary units typically have less value than the units sold through the rigorously validated Clean Development Mechanism.

* Under the Clean Development Mechanism ( CDM ) a developed country can ' sponsor ' a greenhouse gas reduction project in a developing country where the cost of greenhouse gas reduction project activities is usually much lower, but the atmospheric effect is globally equivalent.

Additionally, offsets generated by a carbon project under the Clean Development Mechanism are potentially limited in value because operators in the EU ETS are restricted as to what percentage of their allowance can be met through these flexible mechanisms.

However it also established the Clean Development Mechanism as a Flexible Mechanism by which capped entities could develop real, measurable, permanent emissions reductions voluntarily in sectors outside the cap.

In 2008, YTL Corp acquired a 75 % stake in the Malaysian-based Clean Development Mechanism ( CDM ) developer, YTL-SV Carbon Sdn Bhd ( then known as SV Carbon ), is currently the largest CDM consultancy in Malaysia and the fifth largest in ASEAN with projects in Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and China.

In the Government as Deputy State Secretary Olajos's main responsibilities were: Climate Policy, Clean Energy and Energy Efficiency, Building Retrofitting Programs, Green Innovations and Sustainable Development

Ratified by the NorthWind Power Development Corp and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development through the World Bank Prototype Carbon Fund, the Northwind Bangui Bay Project was the first project in the Philippines to have the Emissions Reduction Purchase Agreement ( ERPA ) under the Clean Development Mechanism.

The Clean Development Mechanism ( CDM ) is one of the flexibility mechanisms defined in the Kyoto Protocol ( IPCC, 2007 ) that provides for emissions reduction projects which generate Certified Emission Reduction units which may be traded in emissions trading schemes.

While the C in CDM stands for Clean, most projects might be better defined with the B from Big, from large hydropower to HFC or waste to energy and clean coal projects ( which all together make the majority of credits generated through CDM ) The argument in favor of the CDM is that it brings development to the South but in all continents, the mainly Big Development it stands for is resisted by local people in those countries.

The project was the first in the world to generate Certified Emission Reductions ( CERs ) under the Clean Development Mechanism ( CDM ).

As a non-Annex I country, Singapore does not have targets set under KP, but it is eligible to participate in carbon credit exchanges arising from approved Clean Development Mechanism projects conducted in the country.

The protocol established the Clean Development Mechanism ( CDM ), which validates and measures projects to ensure they produce authentic benefits and are genuinely " additional " activities that would not otherwise have been undertaken.

These standards include the Voluntary Carbon Standard, Green-e Climate, Chicago Climate Exchange and the CDM Gold Standard, the latter of which expands upon the requirements for the Clean Development Mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol.

* the Clean Development Mechanism ( CDM ) defined by Article 12, which produces Certified Emission Reductions ( CERs ).

A Kyoto Certified Emission Reduction unit ( CER ), produced by a carbon project that has been certified by the UNFCCC's Clean Development Mechanism Executive Board, or Emission Reduction Unit ( ERU ) certified by the Joint Implementation project's host country or by the Joint Implementation Supervisory Committee, are accepted by the EU as equivalent.

As a member of the Investigative Mechanism ( an independent citizen review board ) of the Inter-American Development Bank, he coordinated a study of Latin America's largest hydroelectric plant, Yacyreta.

The following year BRAC established a Centre for Development Management ( CDM ) in Rajendrapur.

The Center for Development Management ( CDM ) is an authority in the field of development management in Asia.

CDM has an 11-month Master in Development Management program intended for executives and managers from developing nations.
