How CDM works - Basic eligibility criteria

The basic criteria that a country has to meet to be able to develop CDM projects is being a non-annex 1 signatory to the Kyoto Protocol and having established a designated national authority.

The annex 1 countries are generally the developed countries. Non-annex 1 countries are therefore generally the developing countries.
