Climate Change - Defining CDM

The Clean Development Mechanism (“CDM”) is created by an international treaty, more particularly by article 12 of the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

CDM is a flexibility mechanism aimed at a reduction in the emission of climate-change producing greenhouse gases in the cheapest possible way. It further aims to facilitate technology transfer from developed to developing countries.
