Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)

Kyoto Protocol is an agreement made under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Kyoto, Japan in December 1997, by which the industrialized countries will reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) by 5.2% compared to the year 1990. The main intention is to lower overall emissions of six GHGs - carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH­4), nitrous oxide (N2O), Hydrofluoro carbon (HFC), Perfluorocarbon (PFC) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) over the five-year period of 2008-2012.

Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is an arrangement which allows industrialized (developed) countries with a greenhouse gas reduction commitment to invest in emission reducing projects in developing countries. The developed country would be given credits (Carbon Credits) for meeting its emission reduction targets, while the developing country would receive the investment and clean technology for implementing the project. Carbon credits are certificates issued for reduction in GHG emission which causes global warming. Carbon credits are measured in units of certified emission reductions (CERs). Each CER is equivalent to one tonne of carbon dioxide reduction.
