/GTZ-SUTP announces the release of a new module titled "The CDM in the 
Transport Sector"/

*//*


The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is a major instrument to promote 
climate change mitigation projects in developing countries. It was set 
up under the Kyoto Protocol and allows developed countries to meet parts 
of their greenhouse reduction targets by investing in emissions reducing 
projects in developing countries.

Up to now, the transport sector has seen only little investment in CDM 
projects as methodological requirements are rather restrictive. The 
TransMilenio -- the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project in Bogotá/Colombia 
-- was the first transport CDM project approved under the Kyoto 
Protocol. BRT projects appear to have a high CDM potential worldwide.

This module, prepared by Dr. Jürg M. Grütter, summarises the core issues 
of CDM transport projects and presents the Transmilenio BRT as a case 
study.

 

Dr. Grütter has worked on climate change projects in more than 30 
countries worldwide. He is the author of the first approved large-scale 
CDM transport methodology BRT projects and the author of the only 
registered CDM transport project (TransMilenio)
