Very few CDM projects on sustainable transport have been implemented to date. This is largely due to the fact that there are only two approved methodologies available for use in establishing the baseline and for monitoring activities.
The Sectoral CDM – A Contribution from a Sustainable Transport Perspective
While the project portfolio of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is expanding rapidly, the transport sector has so far played a rather minor role. In order to better understand why there are so few transport projects under the CDM, this paper examines current transport projects under the CDM framework and identifies potential barriers specific to the transport sector – for example, the high complexity of transport projects, which renders methodology development difficult.
