Bonn: The Executive Board that oversees the Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) has finalized key procedures for investments in small-scale projects for limiting greenhouse gas emissions in developing countries, thus paving the way for an early launch of the first CDM projects.
Meeting last week in Bonn, the Board adopted a CDM Glossary of terms used in the Project Design Document, which helps project proponents to understand CDM terminology.
It also finalized the package of simplified modalities for small-scale CDM projects, including a "simplified CDM project design document" for registering such projects, and an "indicative list of simplified baseline and monitoring methodologies" helping project proponents to lower costs for complying with CDM rules.
Project developers and interested public are invited to visit the UNFCCC-CDM web site ( http://unfccc.int/cdm ) from which all relevant documentation can be obtained.
