Hi

Is anyone aware of any work underway through the CDM, or in negotiations
around its successors, to make it easier for transport projects to be
included.  =


As far as I know, the only public transport project so far granted CDM
credits is the TransMilenio busway in Bogota.  The main barrier is that
transport projects usually involve policy and planning changes as well as
projects, and the methodological tests for additionality are hard to meet.

Curiously yours

Clean Development Mechanism


The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is a project-based mechanism, laid
down in the Kyoto Protocol within the United Nations Framework Convention on
Climate Change (UNFCCC <http://www.unfccc.int/> ) in 1997. On the one hand,
it serves as a tool for the achievement of companies? or state?s emission
targets under minimum costs. On the other hand, it provides an economic
incentive for investments in technologies aiming at climate protection. =


Best regards,

Rainer Rothfuss
